Lindsey Graham: "If you don't think $400m of taxpayer is a good investment to create a secure facility at the White House ... the number one job of national security would be to protect the commander in chief, and to have infrastructure under the ballroom that is very national security-centric."



The Trump Administration is considering using the Defense Production Act as part of a strategy to save the beleaguered Spirit Airlines, who has declared bankruptcy for the second time in two years as the Iran War drives up jet fuel costs for all domestic and international airlines, according to U.S. officials familiar with the discussions who spoke to CBS News. Under the bailout plan being discussed, the government would lend Spirit $500 million at a reasonable rate interest, and become the top debtor in the bankruptcy pecking order. The loan would be protected by Spirit assets that would exceed the government's costs, while providing taxpayers with a warrant - the right to own 90% of the company after it emerges from bankruptcy, then likely being sold to another carrier, potentially American or Delta.
