Former President Donald Trump issued a statement on Truth Social defending Senator Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) regarding reports that Marshall’s former medical practice filed lawsuits against hundreds of patients for unpaid medical bills. In his post, Trump characterized the legal actions as a necessary response to federal requirements, asserting that Marshall was "mandated by law" to collect these debts. According to Trump, failing to pursue the outstanding payments could have exposed the senator to criminal charges.

Trump’s defense of the senator comes amid political scrutiny regarding Marshall’s past business practices as an obstetrician-gynecologist. While Trump framed the lawsuits as a matter of legal compliance, the report highlights the tension between the senator's professional history and his current political campaign. Trump also used the platform to criticize Marshall’s Democratic challenger, though the specific details of that criticism were secondary to his defense of the senator’s financial conduct. The core of the disagreement centers on whether the lawsuits were a standard administrative necessity or an aggressive practice that unfairly burdened patients. There is currently no independent verification provided in the report regarding the specific federal statutes that would mandate a private medical practice to sue patients under threat of criminal prosecution.
