What

A federal judge ordered an immediate halt to taxpayer-funded ads featuring President Trump.
The ruling blocks ads weeks before November's midterm elections amid lawsuits.
Lawsuits allege the ads exceeded congressional authorization and violated publicity rules.
Trump said he would pay for the ads himself; White House gave no reimbursement plan.
A hearing is set for Oct. 13 to discuss next steps in the case.
