El Paso says Donald Trump still owes $569,204 for his February rallyThe city attempted to charge him $470,417.05 for services related to his February rally and tacked on late fees after he didn’t pay.
by Alex Samuels Aug. 5, 2019 President Donald Trump publicly pledged “all the support of the federal government†on Saturday after 22 people were shot to death in an El Paso Walmart this weekend.
But his statements are prompting charges of hypocrisy because the city claims the president’s political campaign owes an outstanding debt from a February campaign rally — specifically, more than half a million dollars.
On Monday, an El Paso city official said Trump has yet to pay.
According to Laura Cruz-Acosta, communications manager for the El Paso city manager’s office, the president has an outstanding bill of $569,204.63 for police and public safety services associated with a February campaign rally.
“The city staff have followed the process and procedures as it relates to any invoicing that we provide, and we will continue to do so accordingly as per city and state policies,†Cruz-Acosta said. She said that Trump owed an initial fee of $470,417.05 but that the city tacked on a 21% one-time late fee in June — 30 days after the campaign failed to pay the initial amount owed.
