We ‘knew this was coming’: Trump orders DOJ to sue Alaska
President Donald Trump said Friday that he directed the Justice Department to file a lawsuit seeking to block certification of Alaska’s U.S. Senate race if Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan loses.
“Well, I’m the one that said ‘do it,’” Trump told reporters in Florida when asked about the lawsuit.
CNN’s Erin Burnett discusses the unprecedented move with former DOJ attorney Ryan Croswell, Republican strategist Doug Heye, former GOP congressional communications director Tara Setmayer, and former U.S. Representative Max Rose.
