The Trump administration is reportedly considering using an existing White House contract to start work on the president’s unrelated 250-foot “victory arch” project, even though the latter is more than a mile away across the Potomac River.
In an April 22 email obtained by The Washington Post, National Park Service acting director Jessica Bowron allegedly floated extending an existing contract with the firm AECOM Services for work on the White House grounds to cover environmental assessment on the arch plan.
