Senate Republicans stalemated over President Donald Trump $1.8 billion account to pay political allies alleged to be victims of government “weaponization,” a dramatic setback for the president even as he threatens to vanquish perceived political foes within his own party. Senate Republican leaders on Thursday are expected to abandon a proposal for $1 billion in security money for the White House complex and President Donald Trump 's ballroom amid backlash from members of their own party. President Donald Trump, facing a Senate Republican mutiny, said Thursday that he doesn't "need money for the ballroom," drawing a distinction between the ballroom and proposed White House security improvements.
President Donald Trump's long-discussed White House ballroom project has encountered a major obstacle.
Bloomberg reported the story as "Trump’s Weaponization Fund Hits Republican Backlash in Senate." PBS NewsHour reported the story as "WATCH: Trump says White House 'won't be a very secure place' without $1 billion security proposal." Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported the story as "Republican progress on immigration bill stalls out over Trump's ballroom, DOJ settlement."
