Biden-Appointed Judge Blocks Trump Ads Days Before Midterms
A federal judge ordered three taxpayer-funded Trump administration ads removed in the closing days before the midterm elections.
U.S. District Judge Jennifer L. Rochon, appointed by former President Joe Biden, has ordered the removal of three taxpayer-funded advertisements featuring President Donald Trump from government websites and social media accounts, just days before the midterm elections. The judge deemed the ads "purely partisan" and in violation of federal prohibition on using government money for publicity or propaganda purposes.
White House spokesperson Lauren Bis called Rochon a "Biden-appointed activist judge" who had issued a "lawless order to stop the administration from sharing patriotic videos."
