Contractors file liens against Trump DC Hotel claiming they were stiffed out of $5M

[spookyturtle 9,466]

And there are a lot of instances where the contractor is reluctant to file a lien when owed money. Also remember that it can be a smaller contractor getting jerked around by a larger one. It's not necessarily a contractor dealing with a private party.

A man of honour!

I doubt there is any decent sized construction project anywhere, that does not or did not have workmen liens filed against it at some point. Could be for many different reasons including a sub contractor didn't pay someone or a supplier didn't get paid. It's fairly common . Of course the story is laid out in such a way as to make it look like Trump himself directly beat someone out of the money.

 

More absolutely dishonest fake news, eagerly laped up by the low information voters  of the hysteria griped left who scour the earth to find any absurd morsels to attack Trump.  

 

It's sad really that so many can't think for themselves

Even by your own description of it, the news is not "fake", it is just "not important" or "not unique to Trump". That is very different. You can complain about the bias of the news, but that doesn't equate to "fake".

 

It's like how they have been calling all the news about the leaks "fake news", and yet they are all pissing in their pants about the leaks. Clearly they aren't fake, they are just not what you want to see in the news. 

 

Seriously get over yourself. The stories aren't fake, you just don't like to read them.

Reed Cornish , present at dinner, and Kushner pal/friend  hasn't divested from his family biz including casinos... Birds of a feather...

 

prominent Baltimore-based real estate developer and longtime friend of the Trump family will serve as an assistant to the president, President-elect Donald Trump’s transition announced on Tuesday.

Reed S. Cordish, a partner at the Cordish Companies, has been involved in some of the region's largest developments, including Power Plant Live and the Maryland Live Casino. The company has developed casinos, hotels and other shopping centers across the country.

Cordish will serve as an assistant to the president for intragovernmental and technology initiatives, the transition announced.

"I am humbled by the role and excited to work with the incredible people within the West Wing and the Agencies to effect change,” Cordish said in a statement released by the transition.

 

The Cordish family has long been close to Trump, and it helped to orchestrate the New York businessman's visit to Maryland in 2015, when he spoke at a party fundraiser at the BWI Marriott.

The transition said Cordish will be responsible for "presidential initiatives that require multi-agency collaboration." Cordish, whose appointment was first reported by Jewish Insider, will also focus on technological innovation and modernization.

in other words if the post is fake, as in not truthful, then you're asserting that no liens have been filed.

Fake and Biased are not the same thing.

 

These things shouldn't have to be explained...

Thanks! I'm celebrating by helping the ex file his N-400 this week or next. My visa journey will finally be done and I can retire.

 

Yeah right. I'm doing an immigration law elective in September and I want to stick around for that in here.
