A leaked Washington Post internal spreadsheet reveals major donors to President Donald Trump's White House ballroom project, including Tech giants Nvidia and Apple, each contributing $25 million. The Adelson family and Charles Ergen also donated $25 million, totaling $333 million from private donors. Trump himself stated he pays for the project personally, contradicting public claims of government funding. The list covers 67 donations over $10,000 recorded as of late last month, with at least $77 million coming from anonymous donors.

Key points

• Tech giants Nvidia and Apple each contributed $25 million to the Trump White House ballroom project, making them the largest individual donors.
• The Adelson family and billionaire Charles Ergen also donated $25 million each, aligning with the administration's public statement that Trump pays for the project personally.

Context and limitations

The evidence is a single internal spreadsheet from The Washington Post, covering 67 donations over $10,000 as of late last month. It does not include donations under $10,000, nor does it account for the full $333 million total or the $77 million from anonymous donors. The source is unverified and preprint status is unknown.
