Judge orders 3 taxpayer-funded Trump administration ads to be pulled from TV and social media

The Trump administration created ads promoting Republican political positions using federal taxpayer money. Federal judges have blocked these ads twice, ruling they appear to be political or propaganda material rather than legitimate government information. The ads, which cost around $20 million, have been ordered removed from television and social media. The legal cases suggest courts found the administration misused public funds for political purposes.
