The USA Freedom Kids said in a newly filed lawsuit the Trump campaign broke
verbal agreements for performances at two events and refused to pay even a
$2,500 stipend for the group's travel expenses.

Maybe Trump thought a verbal agreement wasn't worth anything, but things got
worse for the little performers and it looked like Trump was actually trying to
screw them:
When the USA Freedom Kids' manager complained that they hadn't
been paid, Trump's campaign offered to have them set up a table and sell their
merchandise at their next performance:
[Jeff] Popick agreed, reasoning that the group could net more than $2,500 in
merchandise sales, but, the rally was "chaos," Popick told The Daily Beast.
There was no merchandise table, and it wouldn't have mattered if there was one:
security didn't allow the girls to bring any of their merchandise into the
Pensacola Bay Center. They left it outside in the parking lot, where all of
it--the t-shirts, the CDs, the patriotic posters--was stolen while the girls
performed their act, Popick says.
And he's stiffing his staff:
According to former employees, they were told they would be paid when Corey Lewandowski was campaign manager. But Paul Manafort, who replaced Lewandowski in July, said the staffers would remain unpaid.
Others who, according to the FEC filings, have not been paid include finance chairman Steven Mnuchin, national political director Rick Wiley and senior adviser Barry Bennett, who were not available for comment. Nor were Manafort, Gates and Clark.
Many of Donald Trump's Washington, D.C., policy staffers quit working for the campaign after not being paid or publicly recognized, according to a new report in The Washington Post.
