Trump invited the donors, who include individuals and corporations, to a dinner at the White House on Wednesday night to thank them for their support.

Trump’s White House renovations reached dramatic new heights this week as it emerged that the president was demolishing the entirety of the East Wing of the White House to accommodate his $300 million ballroom.

Donald Trump Jr. says Democrats have "lost the plot" over White House ballroom controversy as critics slam demolition of East Wing for privately funded renovation project.

Three Democrats wrote to President Trump to express concern that decisions about the ballroom addition have been made without public disclosure.

Under a nearly-60-year-old law, the White House and several other notable buildings are exempt from a key historic preservation rule - though one expert told the BBC that presidents typically follow it anyway. Trump's renovation appears to be the biggest in decades, but the president of the US does have the power to make those changes.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended President Donald Trump as a “builder-in-chief" amid backlash from critics over the demolition of a part of the East Wing.

As the government shutdown enters its fourth week, Senate Republicans arrived at the White House Tuesday for a display of unity with President Donald Trump.

TMZ reported on Monday that the president was "vacillating" on a commutation for the music mogul, citing a "high-ranking White House official."
