Comcast – which has drawn scrutiny from the Trump administration over its reported interest in acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery – has made a multimillion-dollar donation to fund President Trump’s White House makeover, On The Money has learned.
While the exact size of the donation couldn’t be confirmed, one source with knowledge of the matter pegged it at an eye-popping sum: somewhere between $5 million and $10 million to fund the president’s so-called “state ballroom project.”
A Comcast spokesman declined to comment. A White House spokeswoman had no comment.
Controversy over the White House revamp has swelled since the entire East Wing is now under construction to create what many believe is an unnecessary level of opulence, including a 90,000 square foot ballroom.
Comcast meanwhile, has good reason to cozy up to Trump: Its interest in acquiring all or parts of Warner Bros. Discovery is facing, as The Post first reported, significant opposition from Trump’s regulatory apparatus.
