as posted by the channel

Jen Psaki shares details from a New York Times report about Donald Trump awarding sketchy no-bid contracts for federal construction projects, including his ballroom vanity project, and points out how the cost has both ballooned and shifted to being a taxpayer burden with a new request from Republicans for $1 billion in taxpayer money for Trump's ballroom.
