Alphabet Adds $22M to White House Ballroom

Alphabet will contribute $22 million toward a new White House State Ballroom under a legal settlement with President Donald Trump tied to his YouTube ban, as demolition images of the East Wing spark public anger. The payment, recorded in federal court in Oakland, will go to the Trust for the National Mall and covers nearly 10% of the projected $250 million, 90,000‑square‑foot project. Trump says taxpayers won’t pay, citing himself and private donors, though most remain undisclosed. Lockheed Martin confirmed a donation; others were reported by CBS. The White House called the backlash “manufactured outrage.”
