Trump demands Peltola resign and claims lawyers are hiding candidate Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. to avoid fraud prosecution
Trump claims that lawyers are hiding candidate Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. to avoid a massive fraud prosecution and demands that Peltola resign and face criminal charges over the alleged scheme.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald J. Trump demanded the resignation of Peltola and claimed that lawyers are hiding candidate Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. to avoid what he described as one of the greatest fraud prosecutions in American history.
Here is the full post on truthsocial: “The reason nobody can find the FAKE Dan Sullivan is that the Lawyers have “scooped” him up, and are hiding him as they teach him, step by step, what to say in order to avoid one of the Greatest Fraud Prosecutions in American History! The lawyers involved in this case are Criminals, and should be treated as such. The Highest Levels of the Dumocrat Party are involved in this Criminal Endeavor. Peltola should be forced to resign, and charged, along with FAKE Candidate Daniel J. Sullivan, Jr., who is now, MISSING IN ACTION! Trump” on November 2, 2026 at 3:44 PM ET.
This is Trump’s 47th message released today, and the last post was 15 minutes ago, and it is not part of a thread. On average, Trump produces 18 posts per day since his inauguration on January 20, 2025. The move fits a broader pattern in Trump’s recent messaging, with 28 of his 1036 posts over the last 30 days classified as Legal posts.

Calling for both Peltola and Sullivan to face criminal charges, the message describes Sullivan as a fake candidate who is currently missing in action. Trump insisted that the lawyers handling the matter should be treated as criminals for their alleged role in the controversy.

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
