The New York Times has revealed that the firm tasked with installing the water-purification system to prevent algae bloom is owned by a long-time Trump supporter and two-time felon who pled guilty to bribing a congressman and violating campaign finance laws.
Greenwater Services was given a no-bid contract in violation of the normal federal bidding process to work on the reflecting pool. The company is owned by John J. Cafaro a Trump donor whose Florida mansion is blocks away from Mar-a-lago.
In 2002, Cafaro pled guilty to conspiracy to bribe former Democratic Rep. Jim Traficant of Ohio. He eventually testified against Traficant and was given a $150,000 fine and placed on probation.
Trump isn’t draining the swamp, he’s filling it up.
