WASHINGTON – The city of Henderson, Nevada, where President Donald Trump recently held an indoor campaign rally, is fining the venue owner $3,000 for violating COVID-19 preventative measures imposed by the state’s governor.
Gatherings of more than 50 people are prohibited in the state. Attendees of Trump's rally were also not required to wear masks, nor was social distancing enforced, despite state rules requiring those measures.
Henderson officials had issued a compliance letter and verbal warning to the event organizers prior to the rally.
