In the three days after Trump’s impeachment inquiry was announced on Sep. 24, the Trump campaign spent $1 million on Facebook ads, many of which included false or misleading claims.

One of these Trump ads even referred to Joe Biden as a ‘b–ch’ — which violated Facebook’s ad policies against profanity and was taken down upon review, a source familiar with the matter told Business Insider.

The Trump campaign then revised the ad, updating it to include a debunked claim about Biden. It was accepted because Facebook does not submit ads from politicians for third-party fact checking.

In its misinformation policy for ads, Facebook says that it “prohibits ads that include claims debunked by third-party fact checkers or, in certain circumstances, claims debunked by organizations with particular expertise.” However, a Facebook spokesperson told Business Insider that ads from politicians are not eligible for third-party fact-checking review.
