Lawsuit against Donald Trump for election ads

168

In the USA people argue about Donald Trump. The Democrats sue him. Another group sues him too. They say: Trump uses tax money for his ads.

The government shows videos on TV. Donald Trump praises himself in the videos. He warns against communists too. One video shows him as a lion. The videos cost a lot of money. The cost is more than 12 million dollars now.

People in the USA must not use state money for election campaigns. The law forbids propaganda with tax money. Trump says: The videos are important for the country. Many people think this is wrong. Many politicians from his own party are against the ads too.

Trump wants to pay the money back later. The Democrats say: He did not do it yet. New videos with state money run all the time. A court in Washington must stop the ads now. The plaintiffs want the money back for the state.
