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. This revelation underscores the complex financial ties the administration sought to establish with Big Tech titans.

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.
