Budget director Mick Mulvaney said he believes President Trump’s plans for a military parade were canceled for other reasons besides the cost of the event, but would not specify other “contributing factors,” Politico reports.
Said Mulvaney: “If the parade had been canceled purely for fiscal reasons, I imagine I would have been in the room when that was made and I wasn’t. So my guess is there were other contributing factors.”
