Quote:The ad begins by showing a clip of Clinton saying she did not send any classified emails on her private server, before flipping to a clip of the ABC anchor Martha Raddatz from the last debate, citing the FBI’s finding that there were 110 classified email exchanges on her server.
Edit to add: I did search for negative ads against Trump. I'm sure there were some, but the search didn't come up with much outside of a study saying Clinton's ads were more negative than Trumps. Although, no idea if that study took into account the pots of money spent by the NRA, Russia and other special interests.
