AEG operates the city-owned arena. The city said that AEG must cover event-related police and city service costs. But AEG said it couldn’t because those would be considered campaign contributions, Star Tribune reported. But by Tuesday, after the Trump campaign threatened lawsuits, AEG said it would honor the contract and not charge any extra costs to Trump’s campaign.
The arena in Minneapolis is fully approved. Looking forward to seeing you Thursday. It is going to be huge!
Star Tribune noted that it wasn’t clear what had changed.
Meanwhile, Trump’s supporters have been lined up for hours before the rally is scheduled to begin.
