DNC tells court MAGA super PAC aired taxpayer-funded Trump ad

Original: "Another controversy involving taxpayer-funded # Trump ads Democratic Natl Committee🚨alerts court that MAGA Inc Super-PA

The Democratic National Committee has alerted a court that MAGA Inc, the pro-Trump super PAC, is paying to air a 'no tax on tips' commercial produced by White House staff whose salaries are paid through Congressional appropriations. Critics say this makes the ad taxpayer-funded political material, raising legal and ethical questions about the use of public resources for campaign advertising.

Why now: Fresh allegations that government-funded staff produced campaign advertising have reignited controversy over the separation of official White House work and Trump's political operation.
