A legal showdown is taking place in Philadelphia as a judge examines a city prosecutor's attempt to stop Elon Musk's USD 1 million-a-day sweepstakes designed to support Donald Trump's bid for the presidency.
District Attorney Larry Krasner filed a lawsuit on Monday against the America PAC sweepstakes, arguing it could breach federal election laws. Judge Angelo Foglietta will preside over the case.
The sweepstakes, offered to individuals in battleground states who sign a supporting petition, is criticized for potentially being an illegal lottery and undermining electoral integrity.
