The Trump administration is set to spend at least $900 million on construction projects on the White House grounds, according to a report by the Washington Post.
Construction Plans
Instead of securing money directly from Congress, the administration has gathered funding from other agencies and private donors and directed it to an account that holds a few million dollars for routine maintenance of the White House.
Confidential contracts and related planning documents indicate that the administration plans to use money in that account for White House “modernization projects,” the report added.
