Judge Rochon Halts $20M in Taxpayer-Funded Pro-Trump Ads Ahead of Midterms

Judge Jennifer Rochon ordered the Trump administration to immediately stop airing taxpayer-funded television ads that critics described as political propaganda. The ads, funded by a $20 million Department of Homeland Security contract, were challenged by a coalition including Common Cause and SEIU Local 32BJ. The ruling bars the use of appropriated funds for these spots, though the administration had already signaled it would cease new purchases.

Judge Rochon Halts Trump Administration's $20M Taxpayer-Funded Ad Campaign

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to immediately cease airing taxpayer-funded television advertisements that promote the president's agenda. The ruling comes after a coalition led by Common Cause challenged the $20 million ad campaign, which was funded through the Department of Homeland Security. Although the administration claimed the ads would end by Sunday, the court issued a temporary restraining order to prevent any further dissemination of the spots, which critics describe as illegal political propaganda.

DNC and watchdogs sue to halt Trump's taxpayer-funded ad campaign

The Democratic National Committee and Common Cause have filed lawsuits against President Donald Trump, alleging that his administration illegally used $20 million in federal funds for political television advertisements. The suits claim the ads, which promote the president's policies ahead of the November midterms, violate laws prohibiting the use of public money for propaganda. While Trump has agreed to pay for future ads via his super PAC, he refuses to reimburse the government for the approximately $12 million already spent.

DNC and Common Cause sue to halt taxpayer-funded Trump ads

The Democratic National Committee and Common Cause sued the Trump administration on Wednesday, alleging that taxpayer-funded television ads promoting the president violate federal laws against using public money for political propaganda. The lawsuits seek to block further spending on the ads, which were funded by Customs and Border Protection budgets. Although Trump announced he would shift future ad costs to his super PAC, MAGA Inc., the White House confirmed it will not reimburse the government for the approximately $10 million already spent on the campaign.
