Trial Could Bar Trump’s Firm from Federal Contracts

“Donald Trump’s real-estate and golf-resort empire goes on trial in Manhattan on Monday, in a low-level corporate fraud case with high financial stakes, including millions in potential fines and tax penalties,” Insider reports.

“But there’s another threatened cost, and it’s something government spending watchdogs have been urging for years.”

“Conviction could prompt the government to bar the Trump Organization from doing business as a federal contractor, including cutting off the spigot of Trump’s lucrative — and critics say exorbitant — billing of Secret Service agents who stay at his properties while protecting the former president and his family.”
