Democrats sue to stop Trump from using taxpayer funds for self-promoting ads
The Democratic National Committee says ads promoting President Trump have cost more than $12 million, with his Super PAC refusing to reimburse taxpayers.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) sued the Trump administration in federal court on Wednesday, asking a judge in Washington to stop the president from using taxpayer funds to air a series of ads promoting himself, according to The Guardian.
The DNC argues the ads amount to illegal, government-sponsored propaganda. Ads promoting Donald Trump, including one recycled from his 2024 presidential campaign, have cost taxpayers more than $12 million so far, according to the media tracking firm AdImpact.
The complaint comes as the ads continue to air despite the DNC's objections, and as Trump's Super PAC has refused to reimburse taxpayers for the cost, the report said.
It was not immediately reported when a court might rule on the DNC's request.
