Trump rushed Kennedy Center renovations for Fifa peace prize ceremony, whistleblowers say

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse sent a letter to the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts regarding whistleblower allegations. These claims suggest that renovations and maintenance work were rushed, ignoring federal contracting laws and standards. The urgency was reportedly to prepare the venue for events, including a Fifa peace prize ceremony for Donald Trump during a World Cup draw hosted in December. The letter also mentions no-bid contracts and a botched reflecting pool redo project.
