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.
