Lindsey Graham Proposes $400 Million White House Ballroom
Senate Budget Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham wants Congress to pass a standalone bill providing $400 million for the construction of a secure White House ballroom. Funding for immigration enforcement agencies has been zeroed out, according to reports from Washington. The disagreement centers on the specific funding requirements for immigration enforcement within the broader DHS package. In the Ukrainian parliament, 2 deputies voted against the bill, 5 voted in favor, and 45 deputies did not vote. The proposal follows an interview of James Comey by the Secret Service regarding political violence against Republicans and Democrats. President Trump has used recent attacks to justify the construction of a ballroom on White House grounds to provide secure space. Senator Lindsey Graham has proposed a bill to provide $400 million in mostly taxpayer money to fund a new facility.
