“Clark Construction, a Virginia-based firm, was handpicked to build the President's $300million, 90,000 sq ft 'Trump Ballroom' – which is being funded entirely by private donors.
But the company's controversial track record of setbacks and budget overruns of hundreds of millions of dollars is now raising fresh questions about whether Trump's latest vanity project will face the same kind of delays or force donors to cough up even more cash.
Clark is led by Robert Moser, who started at the company in 1997 as field engineer before working his way up to being President in 2013.
In a letter to Moser sent this week, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, the Connecticut Democratic who is the ranking member on the Subcommittee on Investigations, asked him to explain how Clark obtained the White House contract and if the firm had ever worked with Trump in the past.
Blumenthal said that Clark currently holds $4billion in federal government contracts, meaning that it has 'much to gain from being in President Trump's good graces'.
While the company champions other projects on its website, there is no mention of its contract for the ballroom.
Among Clark's recent botched ventures is the development of the most expensive military hospital project in the nation which was completed four years late.”
