The Democratic Party of Wisconsin is suing President Donald Trump over the use of taxpayer dollars for political advertising.
State Democrats filed the lawsuit claiming federal funds are being illegally spent to run thousands of partisan ads ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.
A federal judge issued an order Sunday blocking the taxpayer-funded ads in a separate case.
The suit points to reports of a $20 million contract funded through the Department of Homeland Security.
President Trump defended the strategy on social media, calling the commercials a positive promotion for the country.
