USA Freedom Kids to sue Donald Trump campaign

Jeff Popick, creator of the USA Freedom Kids musical group, told the Washington Post he will sue the Donald Trump campaign for violating an agreement.

Popick said no deal was made on paper, but discussions with Trump surrogates - including former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. Popick said he asked for two appearances, but was only given one. Popick asked for $2,500 for the second performance, but the campaign countered by offering to let them sell albums at a table, which was never made available.

After losing money on promotional material it never used, the campaign called to see if the group would perform at another event in Iowa. The group was later informed it would not be performing. The group was given seats at the event, but was asked not to talk to press, which they were seated by. Popick said he had to "be a real jerk" as media continually asked for interviews and to take photos. Popick said he absorbed the cost of the flights, rental car and hotel.

"I've invested a lot of time, effort, money," he continued, "and it's just been complete silence."

Popick has consulted an attorney.
