    WASHINGT0N (AP) — Donald Trump has wired an additional $10 million to his campaign after the release of new financial reports that show rival Hillary Clinton with far more cash on hand.

    That's according to Trump campaign spokeswoman Jessica Ditto. She said the contribution was made Friday morning.

    The Republican presidential nominee has repeatedly promised that he would spend at least $100 million of his own money. Yet the latest campaign filings showed him $44 million short of that promise. That figure did not include the latest $10 million contribution.

    Campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, told Fox News on Friday that Trump will continue to make investments into his campaign.

    Clinton is airing ads in Wisconsin for the first time in the general election campaign.

    Clinton's Wisconsin campaign director Jake Hajdu said Friday that the ads will begin airing in Milwaukee, Madison and Green Bay on Monday.

    On Tuesday, Clinton's running mate Tim Kaine will campaign in the state, his first appearance in Wisconsin since August. Clinton has yet to make a general election campaign stop.

    Polls have consistently shown Clinton with a lead over Donald Trump in the state.

    Hajdu said in a statement that the ads were also designed to help other Democrats on the ballot, including former U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold. He's in a rematch against Republican Sen. Ron Johnson.

    The ad buy was at least $100,000. Clinton's campaign did not release the exact amount.
