The digital ad and an accompanying billboard take aim at Malinowski over fresh reports alleging that throughout the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, he purchased and sold as much as $1 million in stock in companies involved in the COVID response.
"As our economy collapsed from the coronavirus, Tom Malinowski got rich," the narrator in the ad claims. "Malinowski broke the law and tried to hide it."
