White House Rushes Triumphal Arch Project Via Unrelated Contract
The Trump administration had planned to initiate work on the president’s proposed triumphal arch by leveraging an existing contract for engineering services at the White House grounds. This strategy, revealed in emails obtained by The Washington Post, aimed to advance the arch project by incorporating its scope into unrelated work. The proposal suggests an attempt to bypass traditional procurement processes or expedite the arch’s development through an existing agreement.
