El Paso, TX, September 28, 2026 —
Taxpayer-funded video advertisements featuring President Donald Trump and promoting his administration’s policies were personally orchestrated by the President, according to a source who spoke to CNN. The advertisements have drawn criticism from both sides of the political aisle and raised questions regarding potential violations of the Hatch Act.
The source indicated that the ads include imagery and messages directly from President Trump, incorporating remarks that are reminiscent of his campaign rhetoric. The nature of these advertisements and the President’s direct involvement in their creation have become a focal point for scrutiny.
The Hatch Act, a United States federal law, prohibits federal employees, including the President, from engaging in political activity while on duty or in a federal building. Concerns about potential violations stem from the perceived use of government resources and presidential influence for self-promotion or political campaigning.
Details regarding the specific content of the advertisements beyond the general description of promoting the President and his administration’s policies, the exact timeline of their creation or airing, and the specific concerns raised by critics were not provided in the information obtained by CNN. The identity of the source speaking to CNN was also not disclosed. The extent of the bipartisan criticism and the specific nature of the potential Hatch Act violations have not been fully detailed.
