Pro-Trump 'USA Freedom Kids' plans to sue campaign

If you thought the list of those angry over a business-deal-gone-wrong with Donald Trump was short, think again.

In fact, add the child singing group, USA Freedom Kids, onto that list. Group manager and father of its youngest member, Jeff Popick, told the Washington Post on Monday that he has plans to sue the Trump campaign within a few weeks over violating an agreement over their performance.

Popick told the newspaper that he had reached out to the Trump campaign about performing at a rally in the group's home state of Florida in January. He said that in lieu of $2,500 in payment for the performance, they were instead offered a table where the group could sell merchandise to the crowds.

Except, there wasn't a table ready for the group when they arrived, Popick said. And he was out the money he spent on the items the group was planning to sell.

The young girls performed anyways, singing a specially crafted, pro-Trump song for the audience, while dressed in patriotic costumes. The group's song included lines such as, "President Donald Trump knows how to make America great/Deal from strength or get crushed every time," which was penned by Popick ahead of the performance.

After that event, Popick said he was contacted about performing at another Trump stop, this time in Des Moines. The Freedom Kids' flew out to make the performance (which was ultimately cancelled), and Popick said that the campaign had since ignored emails about another performance.

The emails — and runaround, according to Popick — continued with the Trump campaign up until a July 9 letter in which the manager sought to get the group to perform at the Republican National Convention last week. That performance never materialized, and Popick told media about plans to sue the Trump campaign on Monday.

Popick told both the Washington Post and Fox411 that he doesn't plan to sue for "millions of dollars," but that it was a "morality issue of doing the right thing."

"The girls love to perform, so that's what I wanted on behalf of the girls," Popick told Fox411. "How many times do you give someone to make it right? It was all about performing, not about money."

"We are owed compensation or, as the agreement is, a performance," Popick said to the Washington Post. "That's what the agreement was. In lieu of compensation, in lieu of monetary compensation, that we would have this performance. It was largely a verbal contract, but a contract nonetheless and on two different occasions."

The Trump campaign has not commented publicly on the potential lawsuit or Popick's claims.

Trump has been criticized in the past for allegedly not living up to contracts made with small-business owners. As recently as June, a number of contractors who worked on Trump's Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City said that they still haven't been paid for their work, an Associated Press article uncovered.
