Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and White House legislative affairs director James Braid will meet Wednesday with a key group of House Republicans as GOP concerns rise about a $1 billion administration request for Secret Service security funding that could help fund President Donald Trump’s ballroom project.
Mullin and Braid will attend a lunch of the centrist Republican Governance Group, two people granted anonymity to discuss the plans said, and the Secret Service funding is expected to come up. The visit is raising some eyebrows among some Republicans, with some having recent trouble getting Mullin on the phone, according to a GOP lawmaker.
