VERIFY found that Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has unpaid bills in at least six cities for costs associated with his campaign events over the years.
In mid-August, former President Trump’s plane was diverted from Bozeman, Montana, to Billings. VERIFY debunked claims that the plane was diverted because he owed the Bozeman airport and city money.
While that claim turned out to be false, other social media posts shared around the same time claimed the Trump campaign does owe money to more than a dozen other cities.
Those posts shared an MSNBC map graphic that lists the cities and the alleged amounts of money the Trump campaign owes them. The cities where Trump purportedly owes money include Tucson, Arizona; Albuquerque, New Mexico; El Paso, Texas; and Minneapolis, Minnesota, among others.
Multiple VERIFY readers also asked us if it’s true that Trump’s campaign has unpaid bills in multiple U.S. cities.
