Federal judge orders the cancellation of taxpayer-funded promotional TV ads by the Trump administration. Judge Jennifer L. Rochon in New York ruled that the ads, funded by $20 million from the government, were an illegal misuse of funds. The ads, which included millions of dollars in taxpayer money to promote President Trump's political message, were ordered to be stopped and not renewed.
The White House defended the ads as "rather standard," but faced backlash and the decision to use funds from the president's political fundraising.
