Supreme Court Lets Trump Ballroom Project Proceed | Topeka News

from Topeka News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

The Supreme Court just gave President Trump a temporary green light to keep building his White House ballroom, overturning a lower court’s halt on above-ground work. The project, which began after the East Wing was partially demolished without congressional approval, sparked legal action from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, arguing it violates constitutional and federal law. Trump defends the project as essential for national security and diplomacy, claiming it’s privately funded, under budget, and ahead of schedule — though costs have ballooned to $400 million. While the court’s decision allows construction to proceed, the bigger legal battle over its legality remains unresolved.
