President Trump’s reelection campaign still owes El Paso more than $500,000 for police and public safety services that corresponded with a February rally in the city, an official said. 

Laura Cruz-Acosta, communications manager for the city manager’s office, told The Texas Tribune  that the Trump campaign now owes the city $569,204.63 for services El Paso provided for a rally during which the president focused on building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. 

“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 told the news outlet. 

The outstanding debt has gained renewed focus in light of a mass shooting in El Paso over the weekend that has led to at least 22 deaths. Trump declared on Monday that the Texas border city would receive “all the support of the federal government.”

    Why am I not surprised? Trump has a record of stiffing others in business deals and in construction of his many palaces. So why wouldn’t his presidential campaign try to weasel out of its obligations too?
