DNC sues Trump administration over $20M taxpayer-funded ad campaign
Democrats say federal funds paid for political TV spots just weeks before the 2026 midterms.
The Democratic National Committee has filed a lawsuit alleging the Trump administration used about $20 million in U.S. taxpayer dollars to finance television advertisements the DNC says are political. The ads reportedly ran only weeks before the 2026 midterm elections, prompting the DNC to seek legal action.
