Leader Schumer Statement On A Federal Judge Halting Donald Trump’s Illegal Usage Of Taxpayer Funds On Campaign Ads

New York, N.Y. - Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) released the following statement after a federal judge ordered Donald Trump to stop using taxpayer funds on campaign style ads. Leader Schumer previously called for an investigation into this corrupt use of taxpayer dollars by the Trump administration.

"Taxpayer dollars are not Trump's personal propaganda fund. This court order is a win for taxpayers, but stopping the ads is only the beginning. Americans deserve answers about every dollar spent. That's why I've demanded a thorough investigation into these ads and that all records are preserved. Now we need answers: who approved them, how much was spent, and who will be held accountable."
