On the ballroom: Trump administration says new ballroom at the White House will serve as a military center

For months we’ve been hearing about the new White House ballroom and its security for state dinners and for parties. But tonight, the Trump administration is telling the Supreme Court something very different. See, this isn’t just a ballroom. It’s part of what the Justice Department now calls a military center, something even Trump himself has acknowledged. America Now anchor Ben Swann discusses what this means with independent journalist and congressional candidate Sam Husseini. Plus, one Republican primary in Florida could become a test of how much power the pro-Israel establishment still has inside the GOP. Dan Bilzerian, the social media star who decided to challenge sitting congressman Randy Fine, joins America Now for an interview.
