Washington House Homeland Security Chairman Bennie Thompson has asked the Defense Department's inspector general to investigate a border wall contract awarded this week to a construction company favored by President Donald Trump.
The company in question is Fisher Sand and Gravel, which has been touted by White House officials despite a history of environmental and tax violations. Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, said in a letter dated Wednesday that a series of actions"raise concerns about the possibility of inappropriate influence" on the decision to award the firm a contract.
