7:39Now PlayingTrump promised his new White House ballroom would be 'taxpayer-free' and said 'no taxpayer' would put up 'ten cents.' New reporting based on contractor records says the project now costs $600 million, with more than $300 million coming from taxpayers - including $155 million from the Secret Service and $149 million from the White House Military Office.
