DOJ issues new subpoenas in Alaska Senate probe
The Justice Department has begun issuing a new wave of subpoenas stemming from an ongoing criminal investigation into Alaska's U.S. Senate race, multiple sources confirmed to CBS News.

What the coverage shows
Most outlets converge on the same core frame: Alaska’s Senate race is being covered through allegations that Mary Peltola’s camp helped recruit a second Dan Sullivan, with the governor now ordering an inquiry. The New York Times, Axios, CBS News, CNBC, Reason and The Guardian US all foreground the allegation, while NBC News emphasizes the separate DOJ subpoenas and state probe. NPR is the outlier here, shifting away from the scandal to the race’s fishing issue, and Democracy Now! uniquely leads with a DOJ challenge to certification.
