Unpaid fuel dispute tests Trump-backed Freedom Fuel price push

A federal lawsuit accuses Kazmi and KRSM of delivering more than a million gallons of fuel (about $4 million value) to Freedom Fuel Network stations in Pennsylvania before payment was made, and of not paying Mansfield Oil. Kazmi denies the charges, saying invoices were mispriced. The case comes as Trump praised Freedom Fuel for its discounted prices, though the White House says there was no contact with Kazmi/KRSM. Freedom Fuel Network was formed in Delaware on June 25 and advertised prices about 40 cents below market in July, prompting scrutiny of payments and credibility amid ongoing litigation.
