GREED & VANITY: Dems Order Trump’s Interior Secretary and Ballroom Donors to Preserve Their Records

Whistleblowers told a House committee that Interior is getting rid of records, CNN reported. Private money for Trump's ballroom and Freedom 250 runs through two charities tied to it.

The National Park Service asked the Trust for the National Mall in summer 2025 to take the private donations for President Donald Trump's White House ballroom. Rep. Jared Huffman has now sent the Trust the same letter he sent Lockheed Martin.

Huffman, D-Calif., signed 36 of them, dated Nov. 9. He sent nine to federal agencies, including Interior Secretary Doug Burgum's department and the Park Service. He sent 27 to companies and nonprofits, among them Lockheed Martin, Palantir, Oracle, Boeing and ExxonMobil. Huffman tells each recipient to preserve every record and to certify in writing by Nov. 23 that it has.
