Michael Bloomberg, the wealthy former New York City mayor who made a late entry in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential field last November, is expected to file a fourth-quarter Federal Election Commission (FEC) report on Friday. Apparently, over $100 million of the amount disclosed in the FEC report is solely allocated to ads attacking President Donald Trump.
