Report claims 14 of 27 known corporate donors to Trump’s ballroom project later won federal business, a link the White House rejects

A new watchdog report alleges that a large share of the corporate donors to the White House ballroom project have since won federal contracts worth more than $50 billion.

Public Citizen, a nonprofit government watchdog group, found that 14 of the 27 publicly named donors to the $400 million project appear to have received that business in the months after they contributed to the effort.
