Donald Trump's latest campaign ad urges America to "think about" the fact that new emails potentially related to Hillary Clinton's email server investigation were found on "pervert Anthony Weiner's laptop."
"America's most sensitive secrets, unlawfully sent, received, and exposed by Hillary Clinton, her staff, and Anthony Weiner," the 30-second spot booms. The ad comes after FBI Director James Comey's announcement last week that new emails had been discovered on the laptop of Weiner, the estranged husband of top Clinton aide Huma Abedin. Weiner's laptop was seized in a separate investigation into reports he'd sent sexually explicit messages to a 15-year-old girl.
Add Weiner to Clinton's "decades of lies, cover-ups, and scandals," and that makes for a presidential candidate "unfit to serve," the ad concludes. Watch it below. Becca Stanek
