Trump Campaign Faces $750,000 in Unpaid Rally Bills

Cities across the U.S. are seeking reimbursement from Trump's campaign for police and safety costs incurred during rallies since 2016.

Donald Trump's campaign owes more than $750,000 to five jurisdictions for rally-related expenses, including police and public safety services.
The largest outstanding bill is from El Paso, Texas, totaling nearly $570,000, which has accumulated due to late fees.
Erie, Pennsylvania, has not received over $40,000 for rallies held in 2018 and 2023, with costs for a recent 2024 rally still being calculated.
Trump's campaign has directed questions about these costs to the Secret Service, which lacks a reimbursement mechanism for local governments.
Some cities, like Mesa, Arizona, and Missoula County, Montana, have billed the campaign for public safety services but did not have prior agreements for reimbursement.
