NEWS: Sen. Schiff Reveals New Uncovered Documents Exposing Continued Taxpayer Waste on Trump Banners Across Nation’s Capital

Washington, D.C. – New government documents uncovered by U.S. Senator Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) expose additional contracts being doled out by the Trump administration to print giant banners in Washington D.C., some featuring 50 foot+ prints of Donald Trump’s face – a clear violation of federal law prohibiting taxpayer spending on propaganda. “The Trump administration is spending hundreds of thousands of your tax dollars to glorify and pay tribute to a sitting U.S. President and his political agenda. Not only is this a terrible waste of Americans’ hard-earned money, it is clearly against the law. Congress has long outlawed spending tax dollars on propaganda and self-aggrandizement and an eight-story high Donald Trump head certainly qualifies as propaganda,” said Senator Schiff. Documents show that the Department of Interior’s new banners featuring Donald Trump and an “America First” slogan cost the taxpayer $39,000. That contract can be found here . Another set of banners at the Federal Aviation Administration cost the taxpayer upwards of $114,000. That contract can be found here . These documents come after a Schiff report last fall exposing contract documents for propaganda banners that the Trump administration was paying at least $50,000 in taxpayer funds to print and hang on government buildings around D.C. ###
