Public Citizen says government-funded Trump ads violate anti-propaganda laws

Original: # Trump # ads paid for by US government allegedly violate anti-propaganda laws # Broadcasters should be ordered to stop

US consumer advocacy group Public Citizen has filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission arguing that Trump campaign commercials paid for by the US government violate federal anti-propaganda laws. The group is asking regulators to order broadcasters to stop airing the ads, arguing stations are running unlawful political spots at public expense.

Why now: The complaint lands amid heightened scrutiny of election advertising and the use of government funds for campaign messaging.
