“President Trump said he plans to pay for controversial pro-Trump television ads using funds from his MAGA Inc. super PAC rather than the federal government, following lawmaker criticism that the spots might violate federal law and were an improper use of taxpayer money,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“The advertisements, which predominantly feature the president and promote the administration’s policies, started airing on national television last month and were paid for by federal funds from the Department of Homeland Security.”
Mediaite: Trump relents on government-funded “patriotic ads,” says he’ll “pay for them myself.”
