The Department of Justice has asked the Supreme Court to halt a Fourth Circuit appeals court ruling regarding FCC advertising rate rules. The dispute centers on whether political parties and joint fundraising committees should have access to the lower advertising rates typically reserved for individual candidates. The Trump administration argues that the appeals court is overstepping its authority and risking disruption to campaign finance rules just weeks before the midterm elections.
