Original: From the U.S. # Congress Senator Whitehouse: First the wedding, now the ballroom — “Trump/Russia” gets smellier and smel

US Senator Sheldon Whitehouse accused Donald Trump of taking money from Russians for the White House ballroom project, while simultaneously lifting sanctions on Russian interests. "First the wedding, now the ballroom — 'Trump/Russia' gets smellier and smellier," he said, adding that Putin "owns this White House from top to bottom." The remarks have been circulated widely on social media.

Why now: Whitehouse's accusation of corrupt Trump–Russia ties over the ballroom and lifted sanctions is drawing fresh attention.
