Former President Donald Trump has demanded legal action against Alaska Senate candidate Mary Peltola, citing her use of the surname "Sullivan" in past legal filings. The controversy stems from Peltola’s decision to use Sullivan—a name tied to her late father’s family—rather than her birth name, which has drawn criticism from Trump’s allies. Legal experts suggest the issue centers on potential discrepancies in identity verification documents. The move underscores ongoing debates over name usage in political and legal contexts.
