Who’s Paying for Trump’s $1B Ballroom and Internal DHS Clashes Over Immigration

from Here's the Scoop · host yasmin vossoughian, julia ainsley, peter nicholas, Steve Kornacki

President Trump has repeatedly claimed that his East Wing ballroom project will be privately funded, but this week Senate Republicans introduced a measure that would have taxpayers covering the cost of $1 billion security enhancements tied to the project. NBC News Senior White House Reporter Peter Nicholas explains how the Trump administration is using the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner to switch up the messaging. Then, NBC News Senior Homeland Security correspondent Julia Ainsley takes us inside a fiery rift at DHS over how to carry out the president’s immigration agenda.
