Trump administration quietly shifts $352m in federal funds for White House ballroom

The Trump administration redirected $352 million in federal funds intended for the Secret Service to finance the White House ballroom project, which President Trump had pledged would be privately funded. The funds were taken from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a tax legislation passed on Republican-only votes, which restricts the money to Secret Service-related expenses, not construction.
