With days until the crucial Iowa Caucus, the Haley campaign is looking to stop attack ads purchased by a political action committee linked to Gov. DeSantis.

The Haley campaign sent a warning letter to at least one Iowa television station demanding the removal of an attack ad funded by a group tied to the DeSantis campaign.

The Jan. 8 letter obtained by The Epoch Times requests Sioux City, Iowa, ABC affiliate KCAU to stop broadcasting an attack ad purchased by Fight Right Inc.

The letter, signed by Michael Adams of Atlanta-based law firm Chalmers, Adams, Backer & Kaufman LLC, is addressed to station managers and says airing an advertisement containing โ€œblatantly false and misleading statementsโ€ about former U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley violates the stationโ€™s public trust and could result in loss of a stationโ€™s license.

โ€œYour station cannot violate the public trust you are federally mandated to uphold.โ€ Mr. Adams wrote in the letter. โ€œIf you do, you can expect to be held accountable.โ€

Mr. Adams was deputy chief privacy and civil liberties officer at the U.S. Department of Justice during the George W. Bush administration. He served as the general counsel to the Republican Governorโ€™s Association from 2007 to 2019.

It is not clear whether the letter was sent to just KCAU or all stations in Iowa that accepted a contract with Fight Right. The Epoch Times reached out to Mr. Adams and representatives of the Haley campaign but did not receive a reply by press time.

An official at KCAU confirmed the station received the letter.

Fight Right is a super PAC linked to Floridaโ€™s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. According to its Jan. 6 disclosure statement with the Federal Election Commission, it has spent more than $9.1 million on media placements since its formation on Nov. 16, 2023. Most of the material concerns Ms. Haley, Mr. DeSantis, and former President Donald Trump.

The Epoch Times previously reported that Fight Right works in concert with Never Back Down Inc. Never Back Down is Mr. DeSantisโ€™ main super PAC. Fight Right, according to Federal Communications Commission disclosures, has ordered about $642,000 worth of ads with KCAU.
