Brock: 'We’ve been doing research on Donald Trump for months'

David Brock, a top surrogate of Hillary Clinton and founder of two pro-Clinton super PACs, said Wednesday that his organizations are prepared to go after Donald Trump aggressively should he become the Republican nominee.

“Well, I think once we know for sure who the nominee is, we are going to be prepared. We’ve been doing research on Donald Trump for months," Brock, the co-founder of American Bridge and Correct the Record, told MSNBC.

Brock added that his groups are "not late to the game" after he was asked about conservative super PACs going after Clinton in anticipation of the eventual Republican nominee matching up against her in November.

"We’re going to go out and make the case to the American people against Donald Trump in a way that the Republican Party, frankly, has failed and has failed to do," Brock said. "They haven’t vetted him. We’ll do that vet.”

Brock began building a "Trump Book" of opposition research last fall, POLITICO has reported previously.
