A US Senate official just shared how security funding for the grand Trump ballroom at the White House has been removed from a massive spending package.
Democratic lawmakers mentioned more about how imperiling Republican efforts to devote taxpayer funds to the contentious project was now in jeopardy.
The decision was made by the Senate's parliamentarian, who is Elizabeth McDonough, and is now being hailed as a major blow to the Trump administration, which has sought the funds for security purposes linked to this mega project.
Trump mentioned more about how the construction of this ballroom would be funded by $400 million in private donations.
But Senate Republicans are now seeking $1 billion in taxpayer funding for the Secret Service for security upgrades to the ballroom and other structures being constructed beneath it.
