The Trump administration has spent more than $1 million in public funds on advertising promoting the president on the airwaves. Experts, including a former Bush White House ethics lawyer, say the campaign likely violates federal laws banning propaganda and political activity by government employees. Some Republicans have also voiced concern about the ads, adding pressure from within the president's own party.
Why now: Fresh reporting that taxpayer money may have been used illegally for political promotion has sparked bipartisan concern.
