A disgruntled investor has bought $500,000 worth of ads attacking Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden over a clash with Elizabeth Warren at a 2005 hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The spots are the biggest purchase of third-party attack ads of the primary season. They were bought by Shirley Shawe, a shareholder in a business that was embroiled in a long-running ownership dispute, and criticize Biden as being too close to corporate interests as a U.S. senator from Delaware.
