Trump Administration Says Taxpayer-Funded Ads Suit Should End With the Midterms
The Trump administration argues that a lawsuit over its taxpayer-funded midterm ads is moot now that the elections are over, asking Judge Jennifer L. Rochon to reject Common Cause and Robert Hunter's request for a longer freeze. The court had already frozen a $20 million Customs and Border Protection ad contract and blocked three "purely partisan" ads, while the White House confirmed Trump will not reimburse earlier spending despite saying he would pay for the ads himself.
