NBC has asked President Barack Obamas campaign to stop using the networks footage in a recently released reelection ad, POLITICO has learned.
In a letter sent Friday night to Obama campaign manager Jim Messina, NBC told the Obama campaign to cease using network footage in a new 30-second spot, released shortly after Wednesdays debate, in which Andrea Mitchell is shown on air citing an independent, stating that Mitt Romneys tax plan would cost $4.8 trillion over 10 years, a source said.
NBC News has faced issues like this throughout the campaign, including a Romney campaign ad that featured Tom Brokaw.

The Obama campaign did not respond to a request for comment.
