An ad, made by a group backing Donald Trump, makes significant claims but is light on the facts, according to investigative reporter Christopher Heath.
The group pushing the ad, Rebuilding America Now, was forced to issue a 10-page explanation for its 30-second ad.
With Donald Trump as the official Republican nominee, groups looking to defeat Hillary Clinton have started to mobilize.
The ad from Rebuilding America Now goes after Clinton for alleged ties to India and outsourcing.
The ad is titled "outsourcing," and uses clips from remarks made by Clinton in 2005 that seem to indicate she was paid off by Indian businesses to increase the use of outsourcing.
But is that true?
"If the accusations made in this ad were made against a person, they would be libelous," said WFTV political analyst Dr. Rick Foglesong.
Foglesong said the assertion that Clinton was paid off comes with no supporting documentation.
Heath asked the group behind the ad for proof and received a 10-page explanation, showing two dates that are three years apart.
One date was for Clinton's speech in 2005, and another for contributions between $1 million and $5 million dated as early as 2008, to the non-profit organization, Clinton Foundation.
“I think it really fails the reality check (in) that it doesn't provide any proof to believe that any bribery occurred," Foglesong said.
Overall, the ad is basically untrue, since it can't show any connection between the speech and the money, only an insinuation, Heath said.
Rebuilding America Now is a relatively new group.
Last week, it was announced that Gov. Rick Scott would serve as the Political Action Committee's national chairman.
Scott was one of the first governors to endorse Trump, and has campaigned with him in Florida.
