A US Senate ​official on Saturday removed security funding that could be used for President Trump’s planned White House ballroom from a massive spending package, ‌Democratic lawmakers said, imperiling Republican efforts to devote taxpayer money to the contentious project. The decision by the Senate’s parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, deals a blow to Trump and his administration, which has sought the money for security purposes related to the ballroom. Trump has said the construction of the ballroom would be funded by $400 million in private donations.
