Contractors File Liens Against Trump D.C. Hotel, Claiming They Were Stiffed Out Of $5M

International Hotel laborers join long line of unpaid Trump workers.

Three contractors have filed liens against President-elect Donald Trump’s showcase Washington, D.C., hotel, claiming they are owed $5 million in labor costs, according to records.

The so-called mechanic’s liens were filed against the 263-room, five-star Trump International Hotel in November and December with the District of Columbia, according to records obtained by Bloomberg and The Washington Post. Trump has boasted that he completed the $212 million renovation ahead of time and under budget.

A statement from the Trump Organization to the Post did not specifically address the merits of the filings, only that “nominal liens at the conclusion of construction is not uncommon as part of the close out process.”

Trump, who campaigned as a champion of the American worker, was criticized during his presidential race for his long history of refusing to pay or only partially paying blue-collar workers and small-business contractors. He claimed that he was justified because some of the work was subpar — though he occasionally rehired the same contractors for later projects. He also told The Wall Street Journal that even if work was “OK, sometimes I cut them.” Trump companies also dodged payments tohundreds of workers and vendors by filing for bankruptcy protection six times since 1991.

Some of his contractors have said they were forced out of business because of unpaid Trump bills.

Unnamed officials familiar with the Trump transition team, who spoke on the conditions of anonymity, have denied this story.

Your ignorance is glaring. Lien notices are always filed after large construction projects. There are valid reasons that contractors do not get paid.

This is more FAKE NEWS!!!

another "seriousness of the charge without basis in material fact" BS claim.... watch how fast those liens get removed once there are court costs involved..

So how do you know there is no basis in material fact? Has a judge ruled on it? Do you have specific information about the contracts, and the work done that you can share? Any proof of your claim whatsoever?

Do shit work, get paid shit....

Do you fucktard liberals ever work?

Only an ignoramus would be impressed by this story. This kind of thing happens after almost every major construction project.

Mechanics liens are normally filed after a major construction project. This is just not exciting.

The FACT is that ONLY THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR in a project Is responsible for the SUBS he uses getting paid. THE CUSTOMER whose project is being done has ONLY the responsibility to see that the general gets paid for their successfully completed, on time, by spec project. Another instance of having no idea what real economics and business are. IF the CUSTOMER retains other contractors separately then they AND the general, MAY be able to file a suit with standing, if not their suit will have NO REASONABLE STANDING.

Why does Trump cheat workers?
