Donald Trump’s new Washington hotel, located just blocks from the White House, owes electricians, wood workers and a plumbing and heating business more than $5 million for unpaid labor, according to liens filed against the property with the District of Columbia.

The 263-room hotel, located on the historic site of the city’s former main post office, opened in October following a $212 million renovation of the 1899 structure. The liens were filed in November and December, according to public records.

Does anyone know if Trump actually paid these contractors ???? I put this originally in LBN, my apologies.

1. No surprise.

Barr rather than do what he is supposed to do is investigating the Mueller investigation.

2. Why would any contractor work for Trump without getting paid up front?

His history of screwing them is pretty common knowledge by now.

3. Were they ever paid?

It is about 1.5 years later. Are the liens still there?

4. Broidy Office raided!

How in the world does Barr think he can cover all this up?

5. apparently he paid some (from 2018), probably because of the bad publicity, asshole

6. Since January 2017, Trump isn't supposed to have anything to do

With running the hotel. If he (personally) did make a payment, or was involved in making any sort of payment, wouldn’t that be an issue?
