White House Ballroom Battle Heads to Supreme Court | Denver News

The Trump administration is racing to build a massive, $400 million underground ballroom at the White House — replacing the East Wing — arguing it’s vital for national security and the President’s safety, citing assassination plots. A federal appeals court blocked construction without Congressional approval, but the government is now asking the Supreme Court to pause that ruling while they appeal. The Solicitor General backs the move, saying delays could endanger the President. The project, already underway with deep underground work, is funded privately by donors — a claim the President calls “politically motivated” on social media. The Supreme Court’s decision could decide whether the White House or Congress controls how federal property is used.
