Elias' firm, which represents both Peltola's campaign and the DSCC, received criminal target letters from the Department of Justice on Election Day as legal experts warn that the campaign's own lawyers may become fact witnesses. Elias first gained notoriety for helping to create the Steele Dossier on behalf of Hillary Clinton.

The Elias Law Group represents both Peltola’s campaign and the DSCC. One of its attorneys, Jacquelyn Lopez, allegedly took part in the effort, which at one point explored creating a “MAGA party” to further split the Republican vote in the state, the Times reported. Texts reviewed by the paper show a campaign consultant asked former Peltola campaign manager Elisa Rios whether they should “follow up with Jackie about maga party stuff,” and a campaign official noted that “Jackie is calling” the operative who led the recruiting.

Lopez also received a records-preservation letter from Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., who chairs the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.
