SCOTUS allows Trump’s ballroom construction to proceed for now

Source: Axios

“The Supreme Court ruled Friday that President Trump’s sprawling ballroom project can proceed for now, despite a lower court’s ruling that halted the administration’s plans. The decision is a major win for the administration, which has argued that demolishing the White House’s East Wing and building the ballroom are necessary for security. In a brief order, Chief Justice John Roberts paused the halt the D.C. District Court put on construction while the court weighs his request. It did not address the legality of Trump’s project or give a timeline for when the court will weigh in.” (08/21/26)
