Senate Democrats Call for GAO Audit of White House Ballroom Project Senate Democrats have called for a Government Accountability Office (GAO) audit of the White House ballroom renovation project, citing concerns over project management and transparency.
The $22 million renovation has been marred by allegations of mismanagement and inadequate oversight.
The project was initially estimated to cost $13 million but has since ballooned to more than double that amount, with some estimates suggesting it may exceed $30 million upon completion.
