El Paso mayor says city may sue Trump campaign over failure to pay $500,000 in rally expenses
El Paso, Texas, Mayor Dee Margo (R) said Tuesday that the failure of President Trump’s reelection campaign to pay more than $500,000 for police and public safety services tied to a 2019 rally could result in a lawsuit from the city.
El Paso officials said last year that the campaign owed the city about $470,000 for the services it provided during a rally Trump held in February 2019. The city has since hit the Trump campaign with nearly $100,000 in additional late fees after repeatedly failing to recoup the money.
“My last instructions to [city staff] were if we need to, file suit,” Margo said during a virtual press conference, according to The Texas Tribune.
