Westmoreland County Sheriff says he sent deputies to Trump rally despite being told not to
GREENSBURG (KDKA) - The Westmoreland County Sheriff said he is setting the record straight.
Sheriff James Albert said he sent eight deputies to work last week's Trump rally, despite county leaders telling him not to.
Albert said the county solicitor and human resources director were wrong in telling him the county would not provide liability coverage to the deputies.
Albert says he checked with the Pa. Sheriffs Association and others who told him his deputies would have liability coverage as all other sherrifs departments do.
