Homeland Security taps $20 million for pro-Trump ads amid bipartisan criticism

AP, carried by PBS News, reports that Homeland Security tapped $20 million for pro-Trump ads ahead of the midterms. Two Democratic senators said the money was supposed to go to Customs and Border Protection. AdImpact data cited by AP showed more than $2.5 million spent airing three ads over seven days. Public Citizen alleges the ads violate anti-propaganda laws and has asked the FCC and FTC to direct broadcasters to stop airing them. The White House says the ads are public service announcements.
