What impeachment inquiry?
On Tuesday first lady Melania Trump ignored the crescendo building on Capitol Hill and stuck to her own agenda, announcing the construction of a new tennis pavilion on the White House grounds.
"It is my hope that this private space will function as a place to gather and spend leisure time for First Families," Trump said in a statement.
The new pavilion is being funded by private donations, the White House said, though no details about the construction's cost were available.
In a tweet, the first lady shared a photo that showed her, wearing her trademark stiletto heels, breaking ground by the old White House tennis court.

According to CNN, while there has been no previous news of the new pavilion from the White House, nor of its projected existence, in June the National Park Service, which operates the 18-acre grounds of the White House, submitted a proposal about the structure and its construction to the National Capital Planning Commission.

Edit to add;
Could this be a way to launder some dirty money from a bunch of dirty friends? Putin getting money laundered right under the nose of the American people.
