White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting sharpens focus on Trump’s ballroom construction proposal

A shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday has intensified scrutiny of President Trump's proposal to build a secure ballroom at the White House, which he claims would enhance safety. The incident, which injured a Secret Service agent, has drawn attention to legal challenges against the $250 million project, criticized for bypassing required approvals. Trump and allies argue the ballroom, funded by private donors, is a necessary security upgrade, while critics question its cost and preservation concerns.
