The Hollywood Reporter is claiming those people were paid actors hired by Extra Mile Casting for the event. The Hollywood Reporter posted an email it claims comes from the casting company, which outlines the details of the Trump campaign announcement gig.

The actors were reportedly paid $50 a head to stand there, wear Trump T-shirts and signs and cheer for the Donald.

Trump's campaign says the claims are false and the casting agency wouldn’t answer any questions.
