'He left without paying the bill': Report reveals Trump's unpaid fees owed to rally cities

Donald Trump owes more than $750,000 to at least four cities and one county, according to a new Friday report.

Trump has long been accused of hosting rallies in various jurisdictions, and then leaving without paying fees due for public safety costs. Those bills have been accruing over the course of eight years and now near almost $1 million, according to NBC.

"Former President Donald Trump held a third rally last month in Erie, Pennsylvania, which sits in the northwest corner of a swing state that could decide who wins the White House ," the report states. "Like the two other times Trump has been to Erie to rev up his supporters, he left without paying the bill."

According to the report, this is a pattern and city officials "haven't yet tallied up what the Trump campaign owes Erie for public safety costs for his most recent rally in September."

"But according to a city official, Trump owes the city more than $40,000 for the rallies he held there in 2018 and 2023," NBC reported on Friday. "Erie, whose bills were previously reported by the Erie Times-News , isn't the only city that has hosted Trump rallies and not been paid by the campaign."

While other cities and municipalities have gone on the record about Trump's bills in the past, he has still reportedly failed to pay some fees he owes. NBC was able to confirm that Trump still owes money to at least four cities and one county.

"Including Erie, four cities and a county confirmed to NBC News that they're still waiting for the Trump campaign to pay bills often associated with reimbursements for the costs of local law enforcement and other first responder personnel," the report states. "The final price tag is more than $750,000 for those five jurisdictions, with some bills dating back eight years."

Trump and his campaign have reportedly pushed these bills to Secret Service.
