Supreme Court Temporarily Allows Trump White House Ballroom Construction Amid Legal Challenge
The US Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice John Roberts, temporarily allowed construction of President Donald Trump's $400 million White House ballroom to continue while legal challenges proceed. Lower courts had halted the project, citing the need for congressional approval, but the administration argues presidential authority and national security justify the work. Preservation groups contest the project, which involves demolishing the historic East Wing. The Supreme Court's full decision is pending as litigation continues in lower courts.
