The Trump administration has redirected $352 million in federal funds originally designated for the Secret Service to a White House ballroom project. This shift occurs despite President Trump's previous assurances that the project would be funded through private donations. The funds were taken from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which was passed last summer and specifies that the money should be used solely for Secret Service personnel, training facilities, technology, and related expenses, not for construction projects.
