Democrats sue Trump over taxpayer-funded self-promotion ads
Original: Democrats sue to stop Trump from using taxpayer funds for self-promoting ads By Robert Mackey Ads promoting the presiden
Democrats have filed a lawsuit seeking to stop President Trump from using public funds for ads they say promote him personally. According to reporting cited in the dispute, the promotional campaign has cost more than $12 million, and the president's Super Pac has refused to reimburse taxpayers for the spending.
Why now: Fresh reporting on the $12m cost of the ads and the Super Pac's refusal to repay taxpayers has reignited debate over the use of public money for personal political promotion.
