Trump Ads Still Appear Taxpayer Funded Days After Pledge to Personally Pay

The Democratic National Committee sued the Trump administration, alleging that campaign-style ads funded by taxpayers violate a propaganda law. Despite pledges to personally pay for these advertisements, they continue to air stating they are paid for by the U.S. Government. The DNC's legal counsel asserts that these ads clearly violate the Congressional ban on using appropriated funds for publicity or propaganda purposes. This legal action follows considerable backlash regarding the use of taxpayer money for such ads.
