Trump Asks Supreme Court to Allow White House Ballroom Construction

The Trump administration has asked the US Supreme Court to allow construction of a planned $400 million, 90,000-square-foot White House ballroom to proceed while it prepares a full appeal. A lower appeals court had halted work, ruling the project lacked necessary congressional approval. The administration is seeking to keep that decision on hold.
