Trump says he will stop using taxpayer funds for ads after bipartisan pushback

President Donald Trump has said he will stop using US taxpayer funds to pay for television ads he has fronted, following bipartisan pushback."I don't think any public official, including President Trump or Kristi Noem or John Kennedy, should spend public money on private ads for themselves," the Louisiana lawmaker said.

The ads, which praise the president and his policies, drew criticism and questions about their legality under laws against using government money for political ads.
