'On budget and ahead of schedule': Trump shares another rendering of White House Ballroom
The $400 million White House ballroom project, funded mainly by private donations managed by the Trust for the National Mall, faces legal scrutiny over transparency and congressional bypass, watchdogs say.
- A federal judge is expected soon to rule on whether President Donald Trump’s planned $400 million White House ballroom can proceed amid legal scrutiny.
- The Justice Department lawyers argue it can accept gifts through the Department of the Interior, while the National Trust for Historic Preservation contends a `Rube Goldberg` scheme is used to bypass Congress.
- Watchdog groups say disclosure gaps are exploited, with Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington noting at least 22 companies should have reported gifts while only Vantive US Healthcare disclosed a $2.5 million gift on Oct. 13, and the Trust for the National Mall will collect a 2 to 2.5 percent management fee.
- The Justice Department warned pausing the project risks national security and said it would immediately appeal any stay, while U.S. District Judge Richard Leon may rule this month.
- Trump and White House officials have named about two dozen corporate donors including Amazon, Google, and Palantir, while Senator Elizabeth Warren has pressed the Trust for the National Mall for disclosure as the White House declined to specify totals.
