The required deposit came about because Trump failed to pay an $81,837 bill from a campaign event he held at the Tucson Convention Center in 2016.

    I believe Bernie qualified for secret service by then and they were supposed to handle liaising with local PD. So Sanders campaign is saying “talk to secret service” and secret service is saying “we didn’t ask for loan PD support so we’re not paying”.

      It would have been nice if the article had mentioned that instead of normalizing Trump’s fraud. Thanks for the context.

          News outlets would NEVER normalize republican toxicity and bullshit by doing that. What are you saying? /s in case it’s needed…
