The Trump administration's push for a $300 million privately funded White House ballroom involved direct outreach to Microsoft, according to documents released by Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

According to a letter from Microsoft counsel Karen Christian, a fundraiser approached the company regarding a possible donation just two months after the President announced plans to replace the East Wing. The outreach targeted Microsoft as part of a broader effort to secure private funding for the ambitious $300 million project.
