Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported51m ago
The Trump administration has confirmed it will not reimburse taxpayers for approximately $20 million in Department of Homeland Security funds used to produce and air campaign-style advertisements. The decision follows reports that these government-funded spots promoted the president’s political agenda.
Critics have characterized the advertisements as government-funded propaganda, raising concerns over the use of federal resources for political messaging. Despite these objections, the administration maintains that no restitution will be made for the costs already incurred.
