Lindsey Graham Announces Legislation to Build W.H. Ballroom: Underneath ‘Will Be Infrastructure That’s National Security Centric’

EXCERPT:

GRAHAM: “We’re going to introduce legislation that would authorize $400 million to be spent to secure, to build the presidential ballroom. Underneath there will be a lot of military stuff, there will a Secret Service annex, and we’ve paid for it by offsetting it with custom fees. But the estimate is $332 million. We’re going to do $400 million because I think it’s probably going to take more. Private donations can be used, but I think they should be used for buying China and stuff like that. Underneath this ballroom will be infrastructure that is national security-centric. The ballroom itself will avoid the dilemma of having to leave the White House grounds with future presidents and this president to go downtown in a place that’s less secure.”
