Former President Trump still owes El Paso for 2019 rally (as he held another in Texas today.)

Shortly after the Walmart mass shooting that left 22 dead in El Paso, Trump scheduled a large political rally in the city to coincide with an event hosted by then-presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke. But while O'Rourke paid back the city for the security it provided, Trump didn't pay his tab.

The billionaire former president, whose political war chest boasts well over $100,000,000, owes the city $569,204 for transportation, security and a 21-percent late fee. In 2020, the city hired a law firm to try to collect, the city spokeswoman said, but so far $0 has been collected.

Trump's office did not respond to a request for comment for this story, and has avoided responding to questions about the money he owes for three and a half years.
