The lucrative government contract, to provide security for federal courthouses and cell blocks, went to CertiPath, a Reston, Va.-based company that has since 2013 been owned in part by a firm linked to Robert S. Trump, the presidents younger brother.
After the contract was awarded, an anonymous rival bidder filed a complaint with the Justice Departments office of the inspector general, alleging that CertiPath failed to disclose that one of the Presidents closest living relatives stood to benefit financially from the transaction, according to a copy of the July 22 complaint letter obtained by The Washington Post.
