The FBI on Friday began reaching out to donors of Dan J. Sullivan asking about potential deception, as federal authorities ramped up their investigation over the U.S. Senate candidate in Alaska who shares a name with the Republican incumbent.
An Anchorage-based FBI agent visited a boat dealership in Petersburg, a small fishing community accessible only by air or water where the candidate lives. The agent left a business card for Charles Flint, who told The Associated Press he has known Dan J. Sullivan for years as a respected teacher and musician.
The FBI visit came after federal officials confirmed the existence of a criminal probe over the candidate. The U.S. Department of Justice also pushed Friday for a court order to isolate certain Alaska ballots to investigate potential voter confusion.
So if there is already a politician with your name, you can’t run, is that the new rule that MAGA has made? That sucks for people with common names like Sullivan, Rogers, Collins, etc. I guess MAGA Louisiana Senator John Kennedy has to resign his seat.
The Texas Senator who changed his name to “Ted” was clearly just trying to confuse voters who meant to support Libertarian Ted Brown
