Speeding up criminal investigation in Alaska Senate race On the eve of the US midterm elections, the Donald Trump administration has announced that it will speed up the criminal investigation into the Alaska Senate race. Accordingly, the Trump administration is accelerating criminal and civil investigations into allegations that Democrats nominated a candidate in a sensitive Alaska Senate race who has no chance of winning but undermines the chances of other candidates. Michael Hyman, the top federal investigator in Alaska, said the New York Times article about the operation bolstered the FBI's sources. He has also appointed several investigators for this case and the investigation steps are being carried out carefully and quickly.
