Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump releases his first campaign ad with a 30-second spot highlighting his stance on Muslims, immigration and terrorism. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
Every week, Rudy Giuliani posts a video to YouTube as part of his series, 'Rudy Giuliani's Common Sense.' There, the former New York City mayor and personal lawyer to President Donald Trump discusses political issues. Business Insider reports Friday's episode was a strange, 17-minute affair in which Giuliani pounded his desk making unsubstantiated claims about voter fraud. Citing no evidence, Giuliani called mail-in ballots 'unconstitutional' and a strategy for Democrats to hold back votes until they are needed in tight races. He also raged against Fox News for calling Arizona for Joe Biden. Thursday, pro-Trump protesters, some armed, tried to enter an Arizona polling station where votes were being counted in Maricopa County. Giuliani interrupted his own diatribe with two commercial breaks. In the second one, he smokes and promotes a 'real cigar' company with his discount code.
The Trump campaign has started running ads which tap into unfounded online rumors that Joe Biden wore an earpiece during Tuesday's presidential debate. According to Business Insider the ads claim Biden "refused" to take a drug test and "declined an earpiece inspection." The Biden campaign rejected both these claims. Facebook has a policy of not fact-checking political speech or ads, although there are some exceptions.
Donald Trump arrives for another day of jury selection in his historic criminal trial, in stark contrast to his White House rival President Joe Biden who headed out on the campaign trail. "I should be right now in Pennsylvania and Florida. In many other states, North Carolina, Georgia, campaigning. This is all coming from the Biden White House because the guy can't put two sentences together. He can't campaign," Trump says as he enters court. SOUNDBITE
