Democrats Sue Trump Over Taxpayer-Funded Political Television Ads
The Democratic National Committee has sued President Donald Trump's administration over taxpayer-funded television ads promoting his political message ahead of the midterm elections. The lawsuit alleges these ads violate federal laws prohibiting government-funded propaganda and seeks to stop their airing. While Trump defended the ads as positive promotion, he indicated future ads would be funded by his political action committee. The ads have drawn bipartisan criticism and have cost millions in Department of Homeland Security funds.
