Senate Republicans are requesting $1 billion to fund security improvements for President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom.

The money is attached to a broader measure they hope to pass this month aimed at funding ICE and Border Patrol.

Republicans have been pushing for the financing after a man was charged with trying to assassinate Trump at a dinner late last month.

It’s not clear exactly how the $1 billion would be used, but it is more than double the $400 million to build the ballroom, which the president said would be privately funded.
