Trump win in ballroom construction battle

The three-judge panel has scheduled a full hearing for June to review the legal challenges surrounding the project's funding and environmental impact.

Critics have argued that the massive construction is an unnecessary use of federal resources and has caused damage to historic grounds.

The Trump administration maintains that the new ballroom is essential for hosting state events and modernizing White House facilities.

The temporary victory allows work to continue through the spring as the legal battle moves to the next phase.
