Supreme Court Lets Trump Ballroom Build Proceed | Pierre News

The Supreme Court has temporarily cleared the way for President Trump to keep building his massive new White House ballroom, reversing a lower court’s halt on above-ground construction. A historic preservation group sued, arguing the demolition of part of the East Wing without Congressional approval was unlawful and irreversible. While the Court grants a pause to review legal arguments, Trump’s team celebrates, calling the 90,000-square-foot space essential for national security and international diplomacy — funded by private donations. The project, set to cost $400 million, involves tearing down the 1942 East Wing, despite Trump’s claims it wouldn’t affect the building. An appeals court previously blocked above-ground work but allowed underground construction. Now, the Supreme Court must decide whether the entire project is legally sound — and the wait continues.
