The White House budget office released $351.6 million to the Secret Service on Friday for “White House Security Measures,” amid mounting criticism that taxpayer dollars may be tapped to help pay for President Donald Trump’s planned East Wing ballroom.
A database that tracks “apportionments” made by the Office of Management and Budget, which releases appropriated money to be spent, shows that two apportionments were made Friday for the Secret Service: $340.8 million in a procurement and construction account and $10.75 million in an operations and support account.
