Speaker Johnson: The W.H. Ballroom Will Be ‘a Donation to the Country’; Trump Is ‘Doing It for the Country’

TRANSCRIPT:

JOHNSON: “The Secret Service put in an urgent request for additional security measures. It’s not for the ballroom. It’s for security measures. Now, we don’t know what the final bill is going to be that we get. The ballroom is totally privately funded. The president has dedicated, like, $400 million for that project. And by the way, it’s going to be a donation to the country. You’re aware the ballroom will be there long after he leaves. And he’ll only get a few months of its use, so he’s doing it for the country.”
