US Politics Daily@uspoliticsdailyThe Justice Department now faces new scrutiny from a Democratic-led Congress.
For nearly two years, Republicans controlled Congress and rarely checked the department as it pursued the president's foes, fired career staff and defended policies judges repeatedly questioned.
US Politics Daily@uspoliticsdailyDemocrat Mary Peltola is up 2,517 votes on Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan in Alaska, with the count still underway a week after Election Day.
A second Dan Sullivan drew 3,651 votes, more than that gap, and he rejects claims he coordinated with Peltola's campaign. Gov. Mike Dunleavy says state investigators are checking for possible misconduct, including anything that could look like perjury.
The Justice Department has sued to halt certification of a Peltola win if those votes could have swung the result. Certification is planned for November 25.
