Report: Trump Paid For Campaign Launch Crowd

One day after Donald Trump announced his presidential campaign in his trademark bombastic style, it was reported Wednesday that actors were paid $50 to attend and cheer at the announcement in New York's Trump Tower.

The Hollywood Reporter said that a New York-based company called Extra Mile Casting sent out an email to its clients last Friday looking for extras to boost attendance at the event.

The email, which the Hollywood Reporter obtained, said, "We are looking to cast people for the event to wear T-shirts and carry signs and help cheer him in support of his announcement."

However, E! News reports that Trump's camp said the claim isn't true, and they aren't issuing a statement about it.

The story came after reports on Tuesday that Trump's people were grabbing people off the street to come in for the announcement.
