My amendment would simply prohibit taxpayer funding for Donald Trump's White House ballroom.
Prohibit taxpayer funding for Donald Trump's White House ballroom.
Occurrences
Evidence
AP reported that the White House Office of Management and Budget redirected more than $350 million from Secret Service accounts toward White House security tied to the ballroom project, after Congress had rejected a $1 billion request.
AP said the Senate parliamentarian ruled a $1 billion White House security proposal tied to the new ballroom failed reconciliation rules, stalling the effort to move taxpayer money through that bill.
Assessments
The promised outcome was to prohibit taxpayer funding for Donald Trump's White House ballroom. The evidence indicates no such prohibition was enacted: one Senate reconciliation pathway for ballroom-related funding was blocked, but AP also reported that more than $350 million in taxpayer funds were still redirected into security tied to the project after Congress rejected a larger request. That means the outcome Boyle promised did not occur during the relevant federal term, and the record provided does not show he personally secured a binding ban or materially delivered the result.
