WASHINGTON (AP) – Donald Trump is getting a $10 million advertising boost from a super PAC attacking Hillary Clinton as too scandal-plagued for the White House.
With this late ad buy, Future 45 and a companion nonprofit group are now the top big-money helper to the Republican presidential nominee.
An ad set to debut nationwide on Wednesday morning calls it “a new bombshell” that the FBI disclosed it is again looking at Clinton’s email practices. The 30-second commercial opens with Richard Nixon saying “people have got to know whether or not their president’s a crook.” It concludes with the question: “How can we elect someone who is under FBI investigation?”
Future 45 is led by billionaire TD Ameritrade founder Joe Ricketts and Las Vegas casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson is its largest donor.
Brian Baker, president of the super PAC, said the ad highlights that voters must choose between Clinton, “whose entire public career has spawned nothing but federal investigations,” and Trump, a businessman “who will bring real and needed change to Washington.”
