Here’s the relevant language in the DOJ lawsuit. It asks for the election not to be certified if Peltola’s margin of victory is smaller than the number of votes cast for the third-party Sullivan. (I expect this to be laughed out of court.) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

Here’s another example of abuse. Same as the Dana Bash clip, he attacks her for not giving him time to speak, then gaslights her about what’s in his lawsuit. I bet a lot of women recognize this behavior.

Trump: "Our country is making hundreds of billions of dollars on oil. and then on top of it we have Venezuela, and we have Greenland! 'We're making trillions of dollars. But my people said 'please don't mention that, sir, because people are paying a little higher'... we're making a frickin' fortune"

ProPublica: Ken Paxton says he's tough on crime. His trust invested $600,000 in a convicted fraudster's company. "The blind trust's investment in Wildcatter offers a new, unreported look at the attorney general's financial ties with … executives whose prosecutions he typically celebrates."
