Are Trump's US government funded ads illegal?

President Trump has drawn criticism after appearing in television advertisements financed by the federal government. Federal law prohibits the use of national funds for government‑sponsored advertising. The White House maintains that the spots are “nationalist work announcements, alternatively than publicity oregon propaganda.” BBC Verify’s Jake Horton reviewed the advertisements and consulted legal experts on their permissibility. The segment was produced by Krystal Campos, with graphics by Sally Nicholls.
