Claimant: Dan Sullivan’s (R) campaign
Claim: Mary Peltola’s campaign and salary are funded by “Epstein cash.”
Rating: MISLEADING
Explanation: Some donors to Peltola had tangential connections to Jeffrey Epstein’s records or social circles, but none were accused of wrongdoing related to Epstein. Several of the donations also occurred before the relevant Epstein files were released, making the characterization of the money as “Epstein cash” misleading.
