The spot – coming just 71 days before the November election – will run in the battleground states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida, New Hampshire, Iowa, Nevada, Virginia and Colorado. But whom Trump considers a criminal remains unclear.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has revealed that he will deliver a major speech on immigration amid questions about his stance on the issue.
Trump has had strong views about immigration from the start, rallying for strict immigration policies during his campaign. “Big crowds, looking for a larger venue”, Trump tweeted.
In an Iowa speech given on Saturday, Trump declared his intentions to institute a tracking system to ensure that illegal immigrants who overstay their visas are quickly removed, and proposed an e-verify system which would prevent undocumented residents in the US from gaining any type of access to welfare or benefits.
The New York-based businessman said if he were elected, his first priority as president would be to deport the thousands of undocumented immigrants who remain in the United States despite having committed crimes.
“Those are the things that Donald Trump is going to answer. And this is not a simple question”, said Priebus, who’s had a hard relationship with Trump. The campaign also blamed staff error for reports that it had been scheduled for August 31 in Phoenix.
The ad ends with a brief clip of the Freedom Tower in NY with Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again”.
But it’s far from clear what he’ll say, apparently even to his top supporters.
Added Trump’s campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway: “The softening is more approach than policy”, adding that on immigration, Trump “wants to find a fair and humane way”. “Hillary Clinton is the only candidate who will work to build an economy that works for everyone.”, the Clinton campaign said in a statement.
