Audio narration · Coming soon

The government has spent nearly $22 million of taxpayer funds on pro-Trump advertisements, with about half of that amount spent after former President Trump promised to fund similar ads through his super PAC. The White House refers to these ads as public service announcements. This spending raises questions about the use of public funds in political advertising following Trump's pledge.
