Former President Donald Trump's rally was safe and secure, thanks in part to a large Nassau County police presence.
But Democratic and Republican lawmakers are arguing over who should foot the bill.
Nassau Democratic legislators are contending the Trump campaign should pay the over $1 million in estimated overtime cost, rather than the county.
They filed a complaint with the FEC Thursday, saying this type of contribution "must be reported and properly accounted for."
