A company tied to President Trump’s brother, Robert, received a $33 million contract from the U.S. Marshals Service, bringing scrutiny that there was possible favoritism in the bidding process.
The president’s younger brother, Robert Trump, has a financial stake in CertiPath, a company based in Reston, Virginia, that was awarded a government contract to provide security to federal courthouses.
An anonymous rival bidder has filed a complaint with the Justice Department’s office of the inspector general that alleges CertiPath failed to disclose that “one of the President’s closest living relatives stood to benefit financially from the transaction,” according to a company of the complaint obtained by the Washington Post.
“The circumstances of this contract award, and what appear to be CertiPath’s efforts to obscure Mr. Robert Trump’s financial interest in the company even as it trades on the Trump name, present the appearance of preferential treatment for those who are close to the President,” the complaint says.
