Supreme Court Pauses White House Ballroom | US News
Description
The Supreme Court just handed President Trump a temporary victory, letting construction of his controversial White House ballroom project continue while the justices decide whether to hear the case. Chief Justice Roberts blocked lower court orders that would have halted work on the nearly $400 million privately funded renovation, which critics say requires congressional approval and threatens historic preservation — especially with plans to demolish part of the East Wing. The administration argues the project is vital for national security and that 65% of the 90,000-square-foot space is already complete, calling injunctions unlawful. Legal battles have raged for months, but for now, hammers are swinging — and the White House is staying in the spotlight.
