Pro-Trump group to debut latest ad in $1M push for border wall

A political nonprofit aiming to boost President Trump's policies is set to debut a new ad on Monday calling on lawmakers to fund his long-promised wall along the U.S. southern border.

The $500,000 ad buy is the second from America First Policies this month, seeking to put pressure on Congress to get behind the border wall project. Together, the ads have cost the group $1 million so far.

Trump wants Congress to approve at least $5 billion in funding for his border wall ...

As a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, America First Policies is not required to disclose its donors. But its tax filing shows the group paid nearly $2.8 million to Parscale Strategy, the firm run by Trump's campaign manager Brad Parscale, and roughly $662,000 to The Polling Company, the polling firm founded by White House counselor Kellyanne Conway and now owned by the conservative CRC Public Relations.
