President Trump announced that his super PAC, MAGA, Inc., will reimburse the government for television ads that were funded by taxpayers.
The decision follows criticism over the use of public money for promotional spots featuring the president.
The ads had been paid for with federal funds, sparking complaints from lawmakers and watchdog groups.
Trump stated that MAGA, Inc. would cover the costs to address the concerns raised.
The super PAC is a major political committee supporting Trump’s agenda and reelection efforts.
It remains unclear when the reimbursement will occur or how much the ads originally cost.
Taxpayer-funded promotional campaigns for sitting presidents have historically drawn scrutiny from ethics officials.
The White House has not provided additional details on the arrangement or the total amount involved.
