Senators Warn Trump Is Redirecting Millions to White House Ballroom

The Trump administration redirected $352 million from Secret Service resources toward White House Security Measures, which senators believe is a covert move to fund the White House ballroom. These funds originated from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which restricts spending to personnel, technology, and training. Despite previous promises that the ballroom would be financed by private donations, the Office of Management and Budget shifted the money, sparking concerns from both Democratic and Republican lawmakers.
