SAN DIEGO, Calif. — Democratic mega-donor Tom Steyer, who is leading a campaign to impeach President Trump, unveiled a new TV ad Saturday that highlights charges against Russian nationals for interference in the 2016 election.

The minute-long ad, which will air nationwide starting Sunday, made its debut at the California Democratic Party’s annual convention in San Diego, where Steyer addressed thousands of party activists and officials as a keynote speaker.

The new spot features Steyer standing in front of Independence Hall in Philadelphia where he says that the Founding Fathers created the role of commander-in-chief “to protect us from enemy attacks.”

The billionaire donor then slams Trump’s response after special counsel Robert Mueller brought charges against 13 Russian nationals and three Russian groups for interference in the 2016 election.
