Trump Admin Claims ‘Crooked Hillary’ Stole White House Furniture

The Trump administration is firing back at Hillary Clinton after the former first lady tried to rally Americans against President Donald Trump’s latest White House renovation — a privately funded, no-cost-to-taxpayers ballroom project that promises to restore the People’s House to its former glory.

In a fiery statement to Fox News Digital, White House spokesman Davis Ingle didn’t mince words, reminding Americans of a scandal the Clintons would rather forget.

“Failed presidential candidate and former First Lady Crooked Hillary Clinton stole furniture from the White House on her way out until she was forced to return it,” Ingle said Wednesday. “Crooked Hillary is shameless and a total disgrace.”

The jab came after Clinton took to X (formerly Twitter) this week to attack Trump’s 90,000-square-foot ballroom addition, claiming, “It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it.”

But conservatives were quick to clap back — pointing out that Clinton once literally walked off with White House furniture after her husband’s presidency ended in 2001.

A Scandal Resurfaces

The Clintons’ “moving day” controversy made headlines more than two decades ago, when the couple was accused of taking roughly $28,000 in government-owned furnishings and paying $86,000 in compensation for other items they claimed were “personal gifts.”

At the time, the Washington Post reported that the former first couple denied wrongdoing, blaming a so-called “cataloging error.” But to many Americans, it looked like the Clintons were helping themselves to taxpayer property on the way out the door.

That old story is suddenly making the rounds again — and social media is on fire.

“At least he didn’t steal the silverware,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) quipped.

“Hi Hillary,” conservative commentator Benny Johnson posted, “wasn’t it you who walked off with $28,000 in White House furniture when you moved out? Meanwhile, President Trump’s funding a beautiful new ballroom out of his own pocket.”

Trump’s ‘Beautiful’ New Ballroom

President Trump officially announced this week that construction has begun on the long-discussed White House ballroom — a project he says has been on presidential wish lists for more than a century.

“For more than 150 years, every President has dreamt about having a Ballroom at the White House,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “I am honored to be the first President to finally get this much-needed project underway — with zero cost to the American taxpayer!”

The 90,000-square-foot addition, located off the East Wing, will serve as a state-of-the-art venue for diplomatic receptions, charity events, and historic celebrations. The project is entirely funded by private donors and Trump himself, according to the administration.

“President Trump is restoring the White House to its proper glory for Americans to enjoy for generations to come — at no expense to taxpayers — something we should all celebrate,” spokesman Ingle said.

Clinton Silent as Critics Pile On

As of Friday, Hillary Clinton’s office has not responded to requests for comment on the resurfaced furniture controversy or the growing backlash to her anti-ballroom rant.

Meanwhile, conservatives are calling out what they see as peak hypocrisy — a former first lady accused of taking furniture from the White House now lecturing the sitting president for beautifying it with his own money.

As one former Trump aide put it on X:

“Only Hillary could steal from the White House and still try to lecture someone else about respecting it.”

For Trump supporters, the ballroom isn’t just a building project — it’s a symbol of American pride and private initiative. And for critics like Hillary Clinton, it’s yet another reminder that Donald J. Trump still knows how to command the national spotlight.
