> Public Citizen has asked US regulators to stop broadcasters from airing Trump commercials it says may illegally use taxpayer money for propaganda and breach restrictions on federal employees’ political activity. One ad reuses Trump’s 2024 campaign footage but says it was paid for by the US government. The White House calls the ads public service announcements.
