华盛顿一名联邦法官对特朗普政府动用纳税人资金制作赞扬总统的电视广告之举实施了新的禁令，扩大了对这些媒体广告的临时禁令。
A federal judge in Washington imposed a fresh block against the Trump administration’s move to use taxpayer money for television ads praising the president, expanding a temporary ban on the media spots.
美国地区法官洛伦·阿里汗周三作出这一裁定之前，纽约一名联邦法官已下令禁止美国官员采取行动播出这些广告或为其花费更多公共资金，直至11月15日——即11月3日中期选举之后。
The ruling on Wednesday from US District Judge Loren AliKhan followed an order from a federal judge in New York barring US officials from taking steps to air the ads or spend more public money on them through Nov. 15 — after the Nov. 3 midterm elections.
阿里汗命令美国官员停止制作和播出这些由2000万美元纳税人资金资助的广告。法官还表示，政府应采取一切措施停止这些广告的传播。
AliKhan ordered US officials to stop developing and airing the ads, which were funded by $20 million in taxpayer money. The judge also said the government should take all steps to stop distribution of the ads.
在有关以纳税人费用播出这些信息引发道德担忧后，特朗普随后承诺用自己的个人资金——以及其超级政治行动委员会的资金——支付视频广告费用。
Trump subsequently pledged to pay for video ads with his personal funds — and money from his super political action committee — following ethical concerns about the messages running at taxpayer expense.
早前报道：法官将特朗普纳税人资助广告禁令延长至选举之后 华盛顿这起案件由民主党全国委员会提起，该委员会主张这些广告意在为共和党人在决定国会控制权的高风险选战中助选。民主党人认为，使用联邦资金使共和党候选人和政治行动委员会得以在竞选周期的最后几周将他们的资金转用于其他目的。
Earlier: Judge Extends Ban on Trump Taxpayer-Funded Ads Past Election The case in Washington was brought by the Democratic National Committee, which contends the ads are meant to boost Republicans in the high-stakes contest to decide control of Congress. Democrats argue the use of federal funds allows GOP candidates and political action committees to redirect their money for other purposes in the final weeks of the campaign cycle.
该案为“民主党全国委员会诉特朗普案”，案号26-cv-3506，美国哥伦比亚特区联邦地区法院。
