Remember when President Donald Trump vowed that his brand-new White House ballroom would be built using private funds and cost the taxpayers absolutely nothing? Sen. Lindsey Graham (R–S.C.) is now throwing that commitment out the window and asking Congress to appropriate $400 million in public funds for the construction project.
"America has a problem, and we intend to fix it," said Graham. "This is not about Trump. It's about the presidency of the United States. It's about the person who occupies that office not being put at risk if they choose to go off campus."
