Cuomo answers Trump DOJ probe with new ad attacking Trump over election interference [View all]

Mayoral frontrunner Andrew Cuomo went on the offensive Wednesday following news that he’s under criminal investigation by President Trump’s Department of Justice, rolling out a campaign ad blasting the probe as a nakedly political effort to disrupt his momentum in the race.

The 33-second spot kicks off with a narrator recounting how Trump’s administration has recently used federal law enforcement to target elected Democrats across the U.S. — including New York Attorney General Letitia James, a longtime political nemesis to both Cuomo and Trump who’s facing a criminal DOJ probe, too.

“Now, they’re attacking Andrew Cuomo to interfere with New York City’s election. Why? Because Andrew Cuomo is the last person they want as mayor,” the ad narrator says as dramatic music plays in the background.

“If Donald Trump doesn’t want Andrew Cuomo as mayor, you do,” the narrator concludes.
