The Democratic National Committee (DNC) filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against President Donald Trump’s administration, accusing it of broadcasting taxpayer-funded television advertisements to promote the president’s political message.
The legal action seeks to halt federal funding of these advertisements, which reportedly cost more than $12 million to air ahead of the November midterm elections, according to data from the company AdImpact.
The DNC denounces this as a form of illegal government propaganda, arguing that these public expenditures are used for partisan purposes, which is prohibited by law.
