Trump defended the ad and said the $4 million campaign spot was fair game despite bipartisan criticism over Acton’s abuse allegations.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump defended a controversial campaign ad by Republican Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, lashing out at NBC News reporter Monica Alba over its omission of sexual abuse allegations.

- The dispute reflects ongoing tensions within the GOP, with Nikki Haley criticizing Ramaswamy's campaign tactics on social media. Trump has continued to lash out at reporters from CNN and ABC News throughout the week.
