Trump’s White House Ballroom Construction Continues

A federal judge has allowed construction to continue on President Trump’s planned $400 million ballroom project at the White House. The ruling represents an initial setback for preservationists who attempted to halt the 90,000-square-foot addition. The preservation group argued the project lacked necessary reviews, seeking to pause construction. However, the judge rejected their claims, dismissing them as a “ragtag group of theories.” Despite the denial, the judge left open the possibility for further challenges to the project. The ballroom has been a top priority for the President, and work may now proceed. The court’s decision allows the administration to move forward with the significant expansion of the White House, though legal avenues for opposition remain.
