Judge Orders Trump Administration to Cancel Paid Ads Funded by Taxpayer Money
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
A federal judge ordered President Trump to cancel any remaining taxpayer-funded television ads promoting his political message. Judge Jennifer L. Rochon ruled in favor of a coalition, including the nonpartisan watchdog Common Cause, which argued that the ads represented an illegal use of funds. The judge issued a temporary restraining order preventing the government from airing any more ads, including those scheduled for Sunday night. The Department of Justice claimed the order was unnecessary since the ads would end soon. The Department of Homeland Security allocated $20 million for these ads, raising legal concerns about the use of federal funds for propaganda.
