Fact Check
The statement is strongly supported by multiple, credible, and consistent primary sources. Several reputable news outlets report on an official list of donors for a White House ballroom/banquet hall that was released by the White House itself. A high-authority source from the Seattle Times explicitly names Apple as a donor. A highly relevant news report from a major aggregator names Apple, Google, and a crypto firm (Coinbase) as donors. A third source, from a local news affiliate, corroborates the donations from Apple and Google and also adds Meta to the list. The collective evidence from these independent journalistic sources, all pointing to an official government release, provides strong and consistent support for every component of the statement. The irrelevant, low-authority, or likely fabricated sources do not offer any credible counter-evidence.
