A U.S. appeals court is allowing construction to continue on President Donald Trump's $400 million ballroom.
A three-judge appeals court panel issued its order late Friday, a day after a lower court judge continued to block above-ground construction of the ballroom on the site of the former White House East Wing.
It's the latest development on the ongoing legal fight over a project that Trump says is a much-needed addition to the White House complex.
The appeals court also scheduled a hearing for June 5 to review the case.
