Trump administration ads said to break anti-propaganda laws

Original: # Trump # ads paid for by US government allegedly violate anti-propaganda laws # Broadcasters should be ordered to stop

Consumer advocacy group Public Citizen has filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission arguing that commercials for Trump, paid for by the US government, violate federal anti-propaganda laws. The group is asking regulators to order broadcasters to stop airing the spots. Critics say government-funded political advertising on the president's behalf crosses a legal line ahead of the election season.

Why now: Public Citizen's new FCC complaint alleging illegal government-funded pro-Trump advertising has drawn fresh attention.
