Dems slam Trump for making cybersecurity hold out the tin cup while splurging on ballroom and Jan. 6 'slush fund'

Democratic lawmakers criticized President Trump's proposed budget priorities, which include $1 billion for White House security and ballroom renovations and $1.8 billion for January 6-related incentives, while his administration cuts cybersecurity funding by $707 million and eliminates federal support for state and local threat detection services. Expert witnesses testified that reduced cybersecurity funding disproportionately impacts smaller jurisdictions that most need protection.
