EXCLUSIVE: Trump's $415M Ballroom Could Be Putting His Own Security at Risk — as Senator Demands Secret Service Reveal Cash Fallout

President Trump's controversial White House ballroom project is facing fresh scrutiny over whether hundreds of millions of dollars diverted from the Secret Service could be impacting his own protection, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

According to a letter obtained by Radar, Sen. Maggie Hassan is demanding answers from Secret Service Director Sean Curran about the fallout from $415million in agency funding being redirected to White House construction and renovation projects, including Trump's massive new ballroom.

The New Hampshire Democrat specifically wants the agency to reveal whether losing the funds has affected its protective duties, including any "reductions or discontinuation of protection" for officials, including the president himself.

The demand comes as the Secret Service is already grappling with significant staffing and resource pressures.

Hassan's letter points to a June Department of Homeland Security Inspector General report that found the agency was struggling with "burnout and attrition" and warned that operational deficiencies could jeopardize the safety of people under Secret Service protection.

The senator also noted that Curran told Congress in April that the agency needed additional resources to deal with an "elevated threat environment and increased operational tempo." By July, Curran described the threat environment as "off the charts" and the most challenging he had ever seen.

Agents have opened approximately 10,000 protective cases since January, about 40 percent more than during the same period last year, according to Hassan's letter.

Hassan cited reporting that $415million in Secret Service funds had been redirected toward White House construction and renovation, including the ballroom — accounting for nearly half of its projected $927million total cost.

At least $396million reportedly came from a $1.17billion congressional appropriation intended for additional Secret Service resources. The legislation specified the money could be used for personnel, training facilities, programming and technology, as well as bonuses for agents.

Hassan is now asking the agency to detail exactly how it planned to use the $415million before it was diverted. The potential fallout extends beyond presidential protection.

The Secret Service also investigates cyberfraud, scams, and money laundering. Hassan wants to know whether the funding shift resulted in terminated or disrupted investigations, reductions in personnel or investigative hours, or limits on access to technology and equipment.
