Trump's Ballroom Secret Lair Goes Public in Heated Scrutiny

President Trump defended a $400 million White House ballroom renovation, claiming a 'stupid' lawsuit forced him to reveal plans for a secret underground complex beneath the ballroom that would shield it from drones; the privately funded project has drawn scrutiny after a New York Times piece exposed design flaws, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation has sued to halt progress pending independent reviews and environmental assessments. A federal judge will decide whether to halt construction, while officials insist the military is heavily involved and the plan is privately funded.
