U.S. Supreme Court Permits Continuation of Trump White House Ballroom Construction
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 to allow construction of President Donald Trump's $400 million White House ballroom to continue while legal challenges proceed. The court's conservative majority found the National Trust for Historic Preservation likely lacked legal standing to sue, citing potential irreparable harm to the government and national security concerns. Chief Justice John Roberts and three liberal justices dissented, calling the construction "likely unlawful" due to lack of congressional approval. The lawsuit will continue in lower courts, with key project phases expected to finish within months.
