S. Donald Sussman, a Maine resident and political contributor, gave $600,000 to a super PAC in April that paid for the ad, the filings show. A group associated with Emily's List, a Washington-based organization that backs Democratic women, also contributed.

Van Hollen began airing a new advertisement, responding to the original attack and noting the White House involvement. The narrator of Van Hollen's ad suggests the Obama administration pushed back on Edwards. In fact, the administration's statement was limited to the super PAC.

Super PACs are required to operate without coordination from the campaign.

"I am disappointed that my opponent is now using the president's image in his own ad … with misleading language that attacks my character, about a mistake that was not made by my campaign," Edwards said in a statement.
