The White House released a list of donors for the Trump administration’s new ballroom construction project in October, following a historic East Wing demolition.
The projected cost of the 90,000-square-foot build has doubled to $400 million, up from its July estimate of $200 million. President Donald Trump has insisted it will not come out of taxpayers’ wallets, though public funds are being used for underground security work connected to the project, according to the Associated Press.
