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.

Taxpayer money was still being moved into the ballroom-related project, directly undercutting any claim that taxpayer funding had been prohibited.

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.

A congressional funding route connected to the ballroom was blocked, but that was not the same as enacting a prohibition on taxpayer funding.

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.
