Trump White House construction spending could top $900 million

The Trump administration is planning to spend at least $900 million on construction projects at the White House, according to reports from The Washington Post. These renovations, which include the demolition of the East Wing and the construction of a new ballroom, are being funded partly by taxpayer money. The administration is utilizing executive maintenance accounts to funnel these millions into the projects without obtaining the necessary oversight or formal approval from Congress for the expenditures.
