“President Donald Trump said Saturday night that the shooting at the White House correspondents’ dinner hours earlier highlighted the need for his planned White House ballroom — a project that has been mired in legal battles for months,” the Washington Post reports.“Even if the new ballroom were built, it’s not at all clear that a future White House correspondents’ dinner would be held there. The dinner is a private event, not a government function. That question, however, did not slow the chorus of conservative officials and right-wing commentators who seized on the shooting to argue for the $400 million project.”
