사법 · Taxpayer-funded Trump adsTrump Ads Kept Airing After Court Order as Taxpayer Cost Nears $22 Million작성 2026년 10월 14일 오전 10:22 UTC시청방송 전문0:07On October 12th, we reported a court-ordered ad shutdown.0:11The ads kept airing.0:13Taxpayers' spending on five pro-Trump ads is now estimated at nearly $22 million,0:18including almost $10 million after his private funding pledge.0:21The unresolved stakes are whether the government fully complied and whether0:24taxpayers get any money back.0:26Judge Jennifer Roshan ordered the administration to cancel the remaining challenged0:30Homeland Security TV placements, including Sunday evenings.0:33Her October 11th order also froze the funding arrangements behind them.0:37The broadcast continued into Monday.0:39The nearly $22 million covers five ads since late September.0:43Almost 10 million of that came after Trump's October 5th announcement.0:47These are advertising estimates.0:48The government still needs to reconcile them with contracts, invoices, and payments.0:53The new estimate replaces the $20 million in the earlier broadcast.0:57That broadcast's connection to a $175 million immigration enforcement package was1:02wrong.1:03The documented funding actions were a $20 million allocation and a purchase order1:08for the same amount.1:09An earlier estimate put spending at roughly $12 million.1:12The later estimate raised it to nearly $22 million.1:15Other earlier figures were $19 million and $20 million.1:18Those figures use unreconciled cutoffs and accounting measures, so they can't be1:22added together.1:23Final Battle aired 193 times during local broadcasts of 60 minutes.1:28Maduro aired 198 times during America's Funniest Home Videos.1:32Together, that's 391 Sunday evening spots after the order took effect.1:37Each count represents a broadcast in a local market.1:39The order took effect Sunday at 6.45 p.m.1:42Eastern.1:43Those programs began around 7.1:45Hundreds of market airings can come from two ad versions.1:48Counting versions tells you how many different commercials ran.1:51Counting spots tells you how often they appeared.1:54Monday's afternoon snapshot counted 20 more Maduro spots, 11 Final Battle spots, and1:59one for the country he loves.2:00That's another 32.2:02The two snapshots total 423 recorded airings, but the final, complete count still2:07isn't known.2:08The court emailed the order one minute after it took effect.2:11Government lawyers forwarded it more than an hour later.2:14The government says agency lawyers became aware Monday morning.2:18Homeland Security then sent the order to its advertising vendor, LMD Agency.2:22Assistant U.S.2:23Attorney Jeffrey Ostericker apologized to the court and the plaintiffs.2:27The government says it subsequently froze the purchase order and funding allocation.2:31Its filing claimed compliance.2:33Roshan still has to determine whether the government met every obligation.2:36The plaintiffs requested a status conference about the continued broadcasts.2:41They weren't seeking contempt sanctions at that point.2:43A White House official said the last government-paid spots aired Sunday evening and2:48outside groups would pay afterward.2:50Nobody has identified who paid for each Monday airing.2:52Roshan froze future payments under the purchase order, along with the associated $202:57million allocation.2:59She also barred using or transferring Homeland Security funds for the challenged ads3:03and entering, renewing, or expanding agreements to produce or distribute them.3:07The restriction covers this challenged campaign.3:10Ordinary government public service advertising can continue, and the order doesn't3:14prohibit privately funded political ads.3:16Stopping further covered spending also leaves a separate financial problem.3:20How much was already paid, and how much remains committed?3:22The purchase order ran into September 2027, unless all deliverables and placements3:27finished earlier.3:28OMB allocated $20 million on September 19th, and Customs and Border Protection3:33issued the order to Le Pue, which operates as LMD agency the next day.3:37The administration argued its ad buys were ending October 11th, and it had no plans3:41for more.3:42But Roshan found the longer contract and inadequate assurances against similar3:46future spending still justified court intervention.3:49Final battle closely copied a 2024 Trump campaign commercial?3:53Apart from the funding disclaimer, Trump walked down a hallway promising to demolish3:57the deep state and drive out the globalists.3:59The disclaimer said, paid for by the U.S.4:01government, Trump also promised to cast out communists, Marxists, and fascists,4:06throw off a political class he said hated the country, and rout the fake news media.4:11The commercial supplied no information about Homeland Security's official functions.4:15Maduro promoted the January U.S.4:17capture of Nicolas Maduro.4:19It showed Trump alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete4:23Hegseth.4:24Its message framed the operation as American power and a warning.4:27Don't play games with this president.4:29The other aired ads were the country he loves celebrating the enduring spirit and to4:33the great proud people of Iran.4:35At least eight additional similar ads hadn't aired when the opinion described them.4:39The spending estimate covers the five that had.4:42By the morning of October 8th, Final Battle had aired approximately 9,679 times.4:48Its estimated cost exceeded $9.09 million, with an estimated 9724:53million advertising exposures.4:55One person can see an ad repeatedly, so exposures don't count unique viewers.5:00Across all five ads, that earlier snapshot counted at least 16,254 airings,5:06an estimated 1.56 billion exposures, and about $15.4 million.5:11Those earlier campaign figures are already within the later spending estimate.5:15The administration called the commercials public service announcements.5:18Roshan's opinion said the defendants didn't contest that the ads were purely5:22partisan and unrelated to Homeland Security's official functions.5:26She found the challengers had a clear and substantial likelihood of winning their5:29spending claims.5:30Congress had authorized activities commemorating border security efforts, including5:34fallen officer memorials, agency anniversaries, and commendation ceremonies.5:39Roshan found these ads exceeded the authorized purposes and implicated the ban on5:43unauthorized publicity or propaganda.5:45Her ruling is preliminary with a final judgment still ahead.5:48The spending laws require agencies to use appropriations for the purposes Congress5:52approved.5:53They also restrict unauthorized domestic propaganda.5:56Roshan found the plaintiffs would suffer harm that couldn't be repaired later, and5:59that the public interest favored temporary relief.6:02Common Cause brought the challenge alongside Robert Hunter, SEIU Local 32BJ, and its6:07Political Action Committee.6:08Hunter is the Democratic nominee for Alabama House District 28.6:12They sued Homeland Security.6:13OMB and officials in the executive office of the president.6:17A national survey found 86% of U.S.6:19adults consider taxpayer-funded election-related ads featuring the president or6:24cabinet members inappropriate.6:25Among Republicans, it was 80%.6:27That disapproval crosses party lines, but the court decides whether the spending was6:31lawful.6:32The survey ran from September 30th through October 5th, using a probability sample6:36of 4,506 adults through Knowledge Panel.6:40At 95% confidence, the margin was 1.5 percentage points overall and 2.7 for6:44Republicans.6:45The ads aired ahead of the November 3 midterms.6:48Trump promised to pay for the ads himself, and with money raised for MAGA Inc., the6:52Super PAC supporting him, taxpayer spending continued after that announcement.6:57The White House then clarified that his promise applied to future funding.7:00On October 6th, a White House spokesperson said Trump's post was not referring to7:05reimbursement.7:06An administration official said payment would change moving forward.7:09The administration's stated plan left prior public spending unpaid by Trump.7:14Whether taxpayers recover money through litigation is still unresolved.7:17The October 13th conference mentioned in the earlier broadcast had already been7:21adjourned in Roshan's October 11th order.7:23She said she'd reschedule it to discuss next steps.7:26A replacement date hasn't been confirmed.7:28The order lasts 14 days from October 11th, subject to extension.7:32That points to October 25 unless the court changes it.7:34Roshan can extend or replace the restraint while deciding what follows for the7:38lawsuit and the government's compliance.7:40The cutoff didn't immediately stop every broadcast.7:43The government says it later froze the funding arrangements and notified the vendor.7:47A reconciled accounting still has to identify the affected payments and recoverable7:51balances.7:51No repayment to taxpayers has been confirmed.기사
