Republicans in congress are divided on the use of taxpayer funds for a project to build a ballroom, with some outlets reporting varying amounts of taxpayer money potentially being used, ranging from $300 million to $1 billion. The purpose of the funding is unclear, with some reports mentioning the ballroom itself and others referencing security for the project.
