The events company that helped plan Donald Trump’s rally on January 6, 2021, where his supporters rioted and marched on the Capitol, has been handed $13 million in no-bid contracts from the administration since he resumed office, according to a report.
The Trump administration bypassed normal procedures, where other firms typically bid on the contracts to get the best value for the taxpayer, to award the contracts to Event Strategies, a company that has had ties to the president since his first presidential campaign in 2015, The New York Times reports.
