Blanche says Trump isn’t trying to meddle with Alaska election results by suing over Senate race

The Trump administration has filed a lawsuit seeking to block certification of Alaska's upcoming U.S. Senate race if Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan loses to Democrat Mary Peltola. Trump stated he ordered the Justice Department to file the suit. Democrats and Peltola's legal team have asked a federal judge to dismiss the case, while the Trump administration's Attorney General has defended the lawsuit as a necessary legal step. The case is currently before a federal court.
