BREAKING: Trump Calls For Mary Peltola To Be Criminally Prosecuted Amid Report On Other Dan Sullivan
Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 0:11Trump says he is heading to Ohio for a campaign rally.
- 1:25Asked about another candidate named Dan Sullivan, Trump condemns the Alaska situation.
- 1:54Trump calls for Mary Peltola to leave the race and face criminal prosecution, alleging a Democratic scheme.
- 3:27Trump returns to the Alaska Senate controversy and repeats his voter-fraud allegation.
A reporter's question about another candidate named Dan Sullivan turns a preflight press exchange into a demand for criminal prosecution. Speaking at Joint Base Andrews before departing for an Ohio campaign rally, President Trump calls the Alaska situation "terrible" and directs his criticism at Mary Peltola.
"And Mary Peltola should resign from the race," he says. He then calls for her prosecution, describing the candidate controversy as a Democratic scheme and characterizing it as voter fraud. Those are Trump's allegations in the exchange, not findings of criminal wrongdoing.
Peltola previously represented Alaska in the House. The controversy raised by the reporter concerns another candidate sharing the name Dan Sullivan; Trump's response makes Peltola's place in the Senate race the focus of his demands.
The Forbes Breaking News upload drew roughly 54,000 views in seven hours, a pace well above the channel's usual start for regular videos. The footage is a brief press gaggle rather than a dedicated address about Alaska: Trump also fields questions about Jair Bolsonaro, Kevin McCarthy and medical assistance.
After that detour, he returns to the Alaska allegations before ending the exchange and boarding the plane.
