The majority of the corporations known to have donated to the fund for Trump’s new ballroom are represented by three lobbying firms, according to a new report from government accountability watchdog Public Citizen.
Lobbyists from those three firms — Miller Strategies, Ballard Partners and Michael Best Strategies — mingled last month with the president and executives from America’s top technology and cryptocurrency companies over tomato salad and Beef Wellington.
The event took place in the White House East Room, a space that will one day adjoin the new $300 million White House ballroom, and was arranged to recognize donors who privately funded construction that’s now under way. Guests included representatives from more than two dozen nationally recognized firms, like tobacco giant Altria, Comcast, Microsoft and T-Mobile.
