https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-01-05/trump-s-dc-hotel-tagged-with-5-million-in-unpaid-worker-liensDonald Trumps 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 citys 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.

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

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

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

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

With running the hotel. If he (personally) did make a payment, or was involved in making any sort of payment, wouldnt that be an issue?
