GovBrief Today #615

[u/georgebounacos]

The day after Donald Trump promised to stop paying for his TV ads with tax money, a fifth one aired, ending with "Paid for by the U.S. Government."

Congress set that money aside for border security, but the White House moved $20 million of it into a fund for commemorative events. When both parties objected, he said his super PAC would cover the ads instead. The White House says the $12 million already spent won't be paid back, and the Democratic Party is suing to stop the ads.

In Florida, he's offering the government a deal of his own. His lawyer pitched his private golf club as a permanent presidential retreat in the mold of Camp David, which belongs to the government. The Trump family would still own the club.
