13:27Now PlayingAttorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose how President Trump demolished the historic White House East Wing to build a $300 million ostentatious ballroom funded entirely by tech billionaires and defense contractors—creating what former Bush administration chief ethics lawyer Richard Painter calls an "ethics nightmare." The hosts reveal how Trump exploits a 60-year-old exemption in the National Historic Preservation Act that allows the White House to bypass historic review processes, while constitutional lawyer Bruce Fein argues the private funding "flagrantly violates the Anti-Deficiency Act" by using non-appropriated funds from private parties for government purposes. They detail how donors including Apple, Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, and Coinbase are making tax-deductible contributions through the Trust for the National Mall—with Google paying $22 million as part of a legal settlement—costing taxpayers over $100 million in lost tax revenue while creating a pay-to-play scheme where corporations seek government favors through anonymous donations.
