> The Trump administration has intensified its investigation into Alaska’s Senate race, alleging Democrats recruited a “spoiler” candidate to confuse voters and help defeat the Republican contender. Prosecutors sent target letters to several people, including attorney Marc Elias. Democrats deny the allegations; the AP reports that more than 100 subpoenas have been issued so far.
