Now Trump steps up his war on the Clintons calling their personal fortune 'filthy' and based on 'corruption'

• e-mail

Donald Trump's campaign released another new television ad today, hitting Hillary Clinton for getting rich by using 'pay to play politics.' 

'The ad that we're releasing today is called "Corruption,"' explained Trump's campaign manager Kellyanne Conway during an appearance on 'Good Morning America,' previewing the 30-second spot. 

'And that really takes into account that the Clintons came out of the White House, she said they were "dead broke" and they went ahead and made a quarter of a billion in speaking fees,' Conway added. 

With sinister visuals of Hillary and Bill Clinton throughout, the television ad asks 'how did Hillary end up filthy rich?'

A new Donald Trump television ad attacks the Clintons for getting rich on the backs of others via a 'pay to play' set-up with their family foundation 

The 30-second spot uses the widely mocked line that Hillary Clinton was 'dead broke' when she left the White House in the year 2001 

The answer, according to the Trump campaign, 'pay to play politics.'  

The ad alleges that a 'staggering amount of cash poured into the Clinton Foundation' from 'criminals, dictators' and 'countries that hate America.' 

It suggests that the Democratic nominee 'cut deals for donors,' that she 'sold out American workers' and 'exploited Haitians in need.' 

In March, the New York Times outlined the litany of complaints that many Haitians have about the Clintons, from them not bringing as many jobs as promised to the poor island nation, to insider deals – like that of Hillary Clinton's brother Tony Rodham's business ventures in the country – to even the rigging of a presidential election while Clinton was still the secretary of state. 

Haitians also bemoan that earmarked money to help rebuild the country has yet to be spent.

The ad also blasts Clinton for handing American Uranium rights over to the Russians. 

The ad suggests that 'pay to play politics' were afoot, suggesting that the Clintons used the Clinton Foundation to trade access to cash, of which there is no concrete evidence 

Donald Trump's team again used the Clinton Foundation and the money it raised as a sign of the Clintons' corruption 

Trump is referring to the Russians gaining control of the company Uranium One, which purchased one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States, meaning it had to be signed off by the State Department and others. 

This happened while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state. 

Nine people related to the company had also donated money to the Clinton Foundation and Bill Clinton was paid $500,000 for delivering a speech in Moscow from an investment bank with Kremlin-ties that was promoting the company's stock.

While shady, Trump has been called out for overstating these pay-to-play claims, with Politifact pointing out that 'while the connections between the Clinton Foundatoin and the Russian deal may appear fishy, there's simply no proof of quid pro quo.'  

Getting in a final knock on the Clintons, the final line of the ad is: 'Hillary Clinton only cares about power, money and herself.'  

The ad concludes by stating that Hillary Clinton is only in the presidential race to further enrich herself 

 According to Trump's senior communications adviser Jason Miller, the ad will be aired on television nationally, and rotated heavily through the battleground states.

'Hillary Clinton might be the single most corrupt candidate to ever seek the Presidency and should be disqualified for her inability to tell truths to the American people,' Miller claimed in a statement to reporters that came alongside the video's online release.  

'Corruption' comes out on the heels of a more controversial pro-Trump spot, which uses footage of Clinton bobbing and weaving upon leaving the 9/11 memorial, when she was sick with pneumonia and almost passed out.

Conway defended the use of that footage in the ad, saying that overall the spot was questioning 'her record ... as secretary of state.' 

When Stephanooulos pointed out at the spot, released yesterday, seems to be making fun of her health, Trump's campaign manager pushed back. 

'No, we're calling into question whether she has the stamina to lead,' Conway replied.
