Judge Orders Trump Admin to Cease Government-Funded Ads

A federal judge on Sunday told the Trump administration its new ads featuring the president are likely unlawful and must stop — including any set to be aired later in the day.  The administration had indicated the ad campaign is set to end on Sunday, so there was no need for the judge to intervene.

The ads have been criticized as government propaganda and as aimed at influencing the outcome of the midterm election, which will determine control of Congress.
