Alaska’s governor has ordered a new investigation into an alleged plot to siphon votes away from Republican Senator Dan Sullivan.
The move comes as the US Justice Department issues new subpoenas in the case, adding to the scrutiny surrounding the claims.
The alleged scheme involved recruiting a candidate with the same name as an opponent, according to the case under investigation. The legality of that tactic is now being examined.
CBS News legal analyst Jessica Levinson provided analysis of the investigation and the new developments.
