A Republican in Indiana running for Senate aired a new ad on Wednesday where he promised to end special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of President Trump.

“Mueller, Pelosi, Donnelly. They’re using fake news to destroy our president. Who’s tough enough to stop the witch hunt?” Rep. Todd Rokita says in the TV spot targeting incumbent Democrat Joe Donnelly.

Rokita is running for the Republican nomination against Rep. Luke Messer and Mike Braun, a businessman. The primary will be on May 8.

In many GOP primaries across the country, candidates have been vying to be the most pro-Trump they can be. Last night during a West Virginia GOP primary debate, all the candidates agreed that Mueller's probe should end.
