A subcontractor that worked on Donald Trump’s new luxury Washington, D.C. hotel has filed a lien claiming that the Trump Organization and its construction manager have not paid it almost $2.1 million.
That claim, reported Friday by the Washington Post, brings the total in alleged unpaid bills on the Trump International Hotel in D.C. to more than $5 million.
Tim Miller, the executive vice president of AES Electrical, which filed the lien three days before Christmas, told the Post dozens of employees were working 12-hour days for weeks in order to meet a hard opening date for the hotel’s opening in September 2016.
Miller said his claim was not meant to be political.
“We’re not in this for any sort of political reasons,” Miller told the Post. “We have no ax to grind, political or otherwise. We’re a business. We have 700 employees that we pay every week. We have bills. We are effectively financing this work, and we don’t think it’s right. That’s really it.”
A regional plumbing firm, Joseph J. Magnolia Inc., and a construction company, A&D Construction, have also claimed Trump has not paid them $2.98 million and $79,700 respectively for work on the hotel.
We are such a pathetic laughing stock because of this. I’ve been emailing a Navy buddy who now lives in Italy, with his wife, and he says that everyone asks him “What’s wrong with Americans? How could they have elected this idiot?”
and stories like this make it impossible to even try to stick up for ourselves.
This is why DJT can’t buy so much as a load of concrete in New York or Chicago.
Thank you republican penis hunters for making it legal for people to sue a sitting president.
Three words: Clinton vs Jones
On another site, a winger said “why do you think Trump has borrowed Russkie money when there are all kinds of banks in NYC?”
Oh-my-God! Talk about not paying attention to all the true stories of thousands being stiffed by Trump!
He couldn’t be a dog-catcher in NYC as multiple banks would garnish his wages in, drum roll please…a New York minute!
