Trump Unveils New Campaign Ad Following Latest Charges
Former President Donald Trump has released an advertisement for his 2024 presidential campaign shortly after the Department of Justice (DOJ) unveiled new charges against him. The ad, posted on Truth Social, criticizes what Republicans consider a double standard by the DOJ, as they accuse the department of overlooking accusations against President Joe Biden and his family. The ad describes Biden as acting like a “corrupt Third-World dictator” and accuses him of launching a witch hunt against Trump. The video shows a new Harvard-Harris survey indicating that Trump is leading Biden by approximately 5 percentage points in a hypothetical rematch. It also references an NBC News article stating that Trump’s lead in the Republican primary has increased after his second indictment. The release of the ad follows the DOJ’s decision to update the indictment against Trump, adding three new counts related to allegations of obstruction of a federal probe. The indictment claims that Trump asked a staffer at his Mar-a-Lago resort to delete potentially incriminating camera footage, a claim that Trump and his legal team have denied.
