President Obama’s campaign put the spotlight on casino mogul Sheldon Adelson in a fundraising email sent in the wake of reports that the Justice Department is investigating his company on possible money laundering charges.
“If we don’t step it up, we’re in trouble, because we’re up against billionaires and super PACs that are funneling unprecedented amounts of money to defeat President Obama in this election,” the campaign said. That note accompanied a graphic that said “188,679 grassroots donors with a $53 average gift = one Sheldon Adelson with a $10,000,000 pledge.”
