Washington — President Donald Trump on Tuesday led reporters on a tour overlooking construction of a new White House ballroom on the former East Wing site, presenting renderings and describing security features as he pressed Congress for $1 billion in Secret Service-linked funding; the visit followed Sunday remarks by Eric Metaxas that drew viral attention. The tour came as lawmakers and the Senate parliamentarian scrutinized whether the request can be included in pending legislation and several Republicans expressed reservations this week about the $1 billion price tag; news outlets also reported previously undisclosed project claims, including a large subterranean complex and specialized security installations, intensifying congressional debate.
