With less than a week before the Alabama U.S. Senate runoff, Jeff Sessions’ campaign on Thursday issued a new television ad dubbed, “SCANDAL,” which immediately began airing across the Yellowhammer State.
The ad follows Sunday’s New York Times’ report on Tommy Tuberville’s hedge fund disaster, which Sessions is calling a “fraud scheme.” Jeff Sessions issued a statement calling on Tuberville to release the victims from the non-disclosure agreements Tuberville made the victims sign. Tuberville has yet to respond.
“Earlier this week, Tommy Tuberville’s campaign chairman went on the radio to try to explain away Tuberville’s fraud scandal,” Sessions said of Tuberville’s campaign chairman. “Tuberville is in hiding and refuses to answer questions himself. [The campaign chairman] tried to say Tuberville was just an innocent investor and a victim. Hogwash. If Tuberville was just an innocent investor whose name was being used, why did he do interviews in 2009 about his new job as a ‘stock guru’? Why was he passing out business cards, saying he was the ‘managing partner’ of the fraudulent hedge fund?”
