Trump indicates Department of Justice may bring case against Petersburg’s Dan Sullivan

During a lengthy, meandering series of remarks last week, President Donald Trump offered another hint that his administration may seek to disrupt Alaska’s U.S. Senate election.

Fairbanks political writer Dermot Cole first noted Trump’s remarks.

On Aug. 18, NBC News — relying on unnamed sources — reported that the U.S. Department of Justice had issued grand jury subpoenas as it sought to investigate the campaign of Republican candidate Dan J. Sullivan of Petersburg. 

The Alaska Beacon has been unable to verify that reporting, but on Sept. 2, Trump alluded to a possible investigation.

Is a U.S. Department of Justice investigation about to disrupt Alaska’s U.S. Senate race?

Dan J. Sullivan has repeatedly said his campaign was inspired by his dissatisfaction with incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Dan S. Sullivan, and that he did not work with officials from Democratic candidate Mary Peltola’s campaign on his initial run for office.

Despite that, Trump and Dan S. Sullivan have repeatedly claimed — without providing evidence — that Dan J. Sullivan is a fraudulent candidate. 

On Sept. 2, speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said he would travel to Alaska before the Nov. 3 general election in order to campaign for Dan S. Sullivan. 

Hours later, talking with Republican lawmakers at a dinner in the Rose Garden, Trump again brought up the Alaska race.

“I’m going to go up to Alaska for Dan Sullivan. Think of it,” Trump said. “They have a man named Dan Sullivan running against him, the Democrats.”

“I think, Todd, you have a legal case on that,” the President said, referring to Attorney General Todd Blanche.

The U.S. Senate confirmed Blanche by a 50-49 margin on Aug. 8. Sen. Dan S. Sullivan was one of the decisive votes in favor of confirmation.

In the August primary election, Democratic candidate Mary Peltola had 49.5% of the vote, Dan S. Sullivan had 41.4%, and Dan J. Sullivan had 2.5% of the vote.

Under Alaska’s election system, the top four candidates advance to the November general election. The fourth-place finisher in the primary, Democratic candidate David Leslie, withdrew after the results were finalized, which advanced the fifth-place finisher, Gerald Heikes, who had 1.1% of the vote.

Trump, speaking on Sept. 2, said that even though Dan J. Sullivan had only 2.5% of the vote, his appearance on the November ballot could be decisive in a close contest between Peltola and Dan J. Sullivan.

“Let’s say he takes two or three points away. That’s the difference between winning and losing. It should be illegal. I don’t know how the judges are ruling (on) it, but it really is terrible,” Trump said.

George Clooney Shares Final Moments He Spent With Late Sister as She Died from Cancer

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Last year, actor and humanitarian George Clooney lost his sister to cancer.

When he received a Lifetime Achievement award just days ago, he spoke about losing her.

Clooney shared that he was with her as she was dying.

Reflecting upon that, he advised members of the audience to find one thing during their all-too-short lives.

George Clooney was with his sister until the very end

When George Clooney received the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement during the 2026 Venice Film Festival last week, he spoke in remembrance of his late sister.

The actor encouraged the audience to always “seek the joy out” of life while they can, Page Six details.

“My sister, who I was very close to, got cancer last year and she died very quickly,” Clooney acknowledged.

Adelia “Ada” Zeidler passed away in December of 2025.

“I was with her when she died,” Clooney shared, “and there was this feeling being with her, holding her hand when she died, understanding how brief all this is.”

Reflecting upon her passing, Clooney remarked that, sitting with her at that time, it felt like “minutes ago that she and I were both kids together.”

“Minutes ago holding hands as little kids,” he expressed.

“And now, you know … time goes so fast,” Clooney remarked.

“All of this,” he continued, “and so we need to find nothing but joy.”

Clooney emphasized that this also meant needing to “find joy in the things that make [us] miserable.”

Finding joy in life is so important

“You have to seek the joy out,” George Clooney affirmed in Venice.

“You have to demand it,” he stressed, “and you have to make sure that you demand it of yourself. That’s it.”

Clooney went on to acknowledge that he has no idea what may or may not follow death.

He explained that “nobody I know has yet to come back and tell me exactly how it works out.”

That is a very fair and honest take upon the possibility of existence after death.

Last December, Clooney eulogized his sister. She was 65 when she passed away.

“My sister, Ada, was my hero,” he affirmed to People a the time.

“She faced down cancer with courage and humor,” Clooney praised. “I’ve never met anyone so brave.”

He shared: “Amal and I will miss her terribly.”
