Congress turned down President Donald Trump’s request for funding for his modernization efforts at the White House – mainly out of concern that he would tap taxpayer dollars for his proposed ballroom.
Now, the president is turning to a pot of money Congress approved last year for the U.S. Secret Service.
Records show that the White House Office of Management and Budget last week quietly apportioned $352 million from Trump’s tax cuts law, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, for “White House Security Measures.”
