Clinton Campaign Sends Cease and Desist Letters Against ‘Provably False’ Trump Super PAC Ads

‘These Ads Falsely Claim Secretary Clinton Is Under Investigation by the FBI’

The Hillary Clinton campaign on Sunday sent broadcasters cease and desist letters demanding they stop airing ads that claim the former secretary of state is “under investigation by the FBI” and that the Bureau reopened its investigation.

“These ads falsely claim Secretary Clinton is under investigation by the FBI,” Clinton general counsel Marc Elias writes in the letters, noting “the claim in these ads is provably false.” 

“The letter lists some pro-Trump PACs, including Rebuilding America Now and Future 45, and the titles of ads they are funding,” CNN, which first reported the news on Monday, states.
