White House Ballroom Construction Resumes

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit has allowed work to continue on the controversial White House ballroom project for at least another week.

President Trump has argued that the massive structure is essential for his security, while critics contend the project requires congressional approval.

The three-judge panel has requested further clarification from a lower court on how halting the construction might interfere with safety protocols.

The $400 million project remains a point of significant political and legal contention in Washington.
