Trump's contracting controversies in the spotlight after no-bid Reflecting Pool deal
The Trump administration’s decision to award a Trump-tied business a $1.7 million no-bid contract to clean up the National Mall’s Reflecting Pool is renewing scrutiny over other deals inked by Trump officials with politically connected contractors.
TL;DR
- A $1.7 million no-bid contract was awarded to Greenwater Services for the National Mall's Reflecting Pool.
- Greenwater Services is tied to John Cafaro, a Trump donor and neighbor.
- The contract was awarded by the Trump administration.
