Top Judi­cia­ry Demo­c­rat demands inves­ti­ga­tion into Trump tax­pay­er-fund­ed ads

House Judi­cia­ry rank­ing mem­ber Jamie Raskin (D‑MD) sent a let­ter Wednes­day to U.S. watch­dog and inves­tiga­tive agen­cies request­ing two inves­ti­ga­tions into the Trump admin­is­tra­tion adver­tise­ments paid for by tax­pay­er dol­lars.
Raskin, along with Rep. George White­sides (D‑CA), asked the Gov­ern­ment Account­abil­i­ty Office, the gov­ern­ment watch­dog, and the Office of Spe­cial Coun­sel to launch inves­ti­ga­tions into three pro-Trump gov­ern­ment-fund­ed ads that recent­ly began air­ing on TV.
