Albuquerque Sends Unpaid Trump Reelection Campaign Bill to Collections Agency – By Alexa Lardieri (US News) / April 23 2021
The former president owes about $211,000 for a reelection campaign event in the city in 2019.
The New Mexico city of Albuquerque has sent an unpaid bill for former President Donald Trump to a collection agency.
The bill for $211,175.94 stems from an event organized by Trump’s reelection campaign in 2019 in the nearby city of Rio Rancho, The Albuquerque Journal reported Thursday.
The city covered the security costs of Trump’s stay in September 2019 at a downtown Albuquerque hotel, and the bill includes the costs of blocking off City Hall and parts of downtown as well as overtime pay for police officers.
The city billed the Trump campaign but has since turned to professional debt collectors after the bill has gone unpaid for more than a year.
