Trump and Kushner business partner might get $2 billion contract for new FBI headquarters

In just the latest glaring conflict of interest in the Trump White House, a business partner of President Trump and his son-in-law Jared Kushner is seeking a $2 billion government contract to build the new FBI headquarters.

New York real estate firm Vornado Realty Trust is among the three finalists for the lucrative gig, ABC News reported Monday.

The company’s founder and chairman, Steven Roth, is a friend of Trump’s who works with his infrastructure advisory council and even traveled last week with the President to Cincinnati as part of Trump’s “Infrastructure Week.” The two stood on a stage together as Trump hailed Roth as one of the "greatest builders in America."

Roth's firm is jointly invested in two buildings with the Trump Organization, and it is negotiating with the Kushner Company over its investments in the 666 Fifth Avenue skyscraper in New York.

for conflict of interest and terrible security risk!

[luvMIdog]

9. Yes it should be denied. Too bad there is no real life 'Avenger' team to save us all :(

10. The republicans can be stopped by no one

2018 is the earliest that this country must come together and start the destruction of the anti-american, economic terrorist, republican party.

And if we don't elect huge numbers of democrats at that time then.......

But until then they have full rein to fuck over this country as much as they want. Just wait till the Senate sends theirs and the house horrendous Trumpcare bill for Dump to sign.

Many many many deplorable Trump voters will be in shock at the ass ra**ng their god emperor is going to give to them!

11. it's scary and sad . It's hard not to panic. :(

[workinclasszero]

12. I'm scared shitless personally

The republicans and Trump are going to devastate the poor and working class in this country and send the economy into the toilet just like Bush Jr did.

But it will be far worse this time. I have no doubt because the democrats are powerless to do anything.

7. Is anyone surprised at this?

The entire Trump family are grifters. They'll very likely get a piece of that $2 billion.

[sarcasmo]

14. Grifters can't stop grifting.

[Achilleaze]

15. Kushy

sweet to be a republican KGOP insider with the soul of a grifter...

Just wait till the republicans get through savaging the hungry, homeless and elderly, there will be more more more for the republicans to grab for themselves.

[workinclasszero]

16. Yup

Massive tax cut for the 1%ers when the republicans and Trump gut Medicaid, SSI, SNAP, meals on wheels etc.

And Trump and all the millionaire republicans in congress will benefit from that too!
