According to the New York Post, Rex Heuermann did some contract work for Donald Trump’s 40 Wall Street skyscraper in 2018. Referencing paperwork filed with the New York City Department of Buildings, the outlet reported that Trump’s company contracted Heuermann — via his architectural company — to fix a plumbing issue within his building during the politician’s first presidential term. Heuermann’s company oversaw “renovation of office space to include minor partition and plumbing changes” (via The Real Deal). The bill amounted to $205,017. Trump’s team, however, has attempted to distance Trump from Heuermann. “Mr. Heurmann [sic] never worked for The Trump Organization in any capacity,” read a statement from Trump’s rep. “According to our records, he was hired by a third-party commercial office tenant who vacated years ago, to perform minor architectural work in their individual space.” According to the New York Post, officials detained Heuermann at his place of business, which was cited within the paperwork.

So far, Trump hasn’t directly spoken out about these reports. But given enough time and attention to the matter, it’s likely that he’ll have plenty of words about the negative association with Heuermann. In the meantime, Trump has plenty of other important matters on his plate, such as his ongoing legal snafus. And he’s certainly been voicing his thoughts on it all. On his Truth Social app, he wrote, “FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE USA, LAWYERS, AND THE LEGAL SYSTEM ITSELF, ARE UNDER SIEGE…ALL A GIFT FROM CROOKED JOE BIDEN, MERRICK GARLAND, AND DERANGED PROSECUTOR, JACK SMITH!!!”
