President Trump's personal driver of 25 years is suing Trump for failing to pay him overtime, Bloomberg reports. Driver Noel Cintron says he was skimped some 3,300 hours of overtime pay in the past six years — the maximum he can sue for because of the statute of limitations.

It is hardly the first time Trump has been accused of failing to pay his employees what they are owed. In 2016, Trump faced at least 60 lawsuits from people accusing him of "failing to pay them for their work," USA Today found, as well as more than 200 mechanics liens filed by contractors and employees alleging Trump owed them money. At the time, his companies also faced 24 citations since 2005 for violating the Fair Labor Standards act by "failing to pay overtime or minimum wage."
