Lawsuit alleges Texas police refused to help Biden bus from 'terrorizing' Trump train
ABC News
New details emerge about San Marcos Police involvement in helping "Biden bus" with a "Trump train" in Texas.
Just before the 2020 presidential election, a bus carrying Biden-Harris campaign staffers and volunteers through Texas was tailed by Trump supporters, some of whom were "driving in a way that appeared to be an attempt to push the bus off the road onto the shoulder," according to court documents.
A lawsuit was filed Friday by former Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis and two former campaign staffers who were on the bus, along with the bus driver, alleging negligence by the San Marcos Police Department.
"For at least ninety minutes, including during the entirety of the stretch of I-35 inside the San Marcos city lines, the Trump Train pursued and terrorized the Plaintiffs," the lawsuit alleges. "Plaintiffs tried to get help. They repeatedly called 911. They requested police escorts. San Marcos refused to help."
The suit alleges that the San Marcos Police Department laughed and refused to provide assistance when a staffer called in to report the situation on Oct. 30 2020. ABC News has reached out to the police department for comment.
