Today, House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-03) issued a statement following a report in the Washington Post that confirmed the Trump administration planned to use more than $300 million in taxpayer money to fund the president’s billionaire ballroom, and has already spent tens of millions of taxpayer dollars on its construction, while brazenly lying to the American people the whole time.
House Appropriations Committee Republicans today released their 2027 Defense funding bill, which will be considered by the Defense subcommittee during a closed meeting tomorrow.
