White House Ballroom Construction Resumes

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a 2-1 ruling allowing work on the massive White House project to continue until at least April 17.

Trump has argued that the completion of the ballroom is essential for his safety, though critics contend the project requires congressional approval.

The appeals panel has instructed a lower court judge to clarify how a construction halt would interfere with security plans.

The estimated $300-million to $400-million project remains a point of significant legal and political contention.
