Trump says his super PAC will now pay for controversial taxpayer-funded promo ads

President Donald Trump announced that his super PAC, MAGA Inc., will now fund a series of advertisements previously paid for by the federal government. The ads, which the administration describes as 'public service announcements' to promote the country's direction, have faced criticism for allegedly using taxpayer funds for partisan messaging ahead of the midterm elections. While the President stated he would pay for future ads, a White House official clarified there are currently no plans to reimburse the government for the estimated $2.5 million already spent out of a $20 million DHS allocation.
