Contractor files $2 million lawsuit against Trump for unpaid bills
Source: The Hill
A Maryland-based electrical company is suing President Trumps Washington, D.C. hotel for than $2 million, Politico reports.
AES Electrical, also called Freestate Electrical, alleged that its employees had to work nonstop to complete electrical and fire alarm systems before the hotels soft opening in September and its grand opening in October. It says it never received payment for its work.
The lawsuit also argues that without Freestate, the real estate mogul would not have been able to hold an event at the hotel in September.
At the time of the soft opening, Donald J. Trump, President of Defendent, Trump Old Post Office, LLC, was a U.S. presidential candidate and the soft opening had to occur to permit Mr. Trumps nationally televised campaign event from the Hotel on September 16, 2016, which was to honor U.S. veterans, the lawsuit says. But for Freestates acceleration of work and performance of extra work on the project, this event would not have been able to occur.
Freestate also noted that its work before the hotels grand opening on Oct. 26 was timed just before the Nov. 8 election in order to generate positive press coverage.

(30,613 posts)When he moves into the White House in January, Donald Trump will bring with him some unusual baggage: a long list of pending lawsuits in which he is either a plaintiff or a defendant. And just because he'll be president doesn't mean these cases are going away. For this, Trump can thank Paula Jones and the husband of his campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway.
By USA Today's count, Trump is involved in at least 75 ongoing cases. They include the numerous fraud lawsuits targeting the president-elect's now-defunct Trump University, which encouraged students to take out hefty loans in order to enroll in its get-rich-quick real estate seminars. A trial in a class-action lawsuit against Trump University is scheduled to begin in California on November 28, though Trump's lawyers have asked to postpone the case until after his inauguration. During his presidency, Trump won't be able to avoid potentially embarrassing court proceedings, depositions, and even the possibility of appearing as a witness in court. The law is clear that a sitting president can be sued for private conductwhich brings us to the Paula Jones story.
