Appeals Court Halts Construction of Trump's White House Ballroom
The court found the administration lacked legal authority for the $400 million project despite security claims. Judges ruled Trump exceeded his power by using private funds without required congressional approval. The decision specifically orders an immediate stop to aboveground construction on the East Wing site. The legal challenge followed the demolition of the East Wing, which sparked a lawsuit over the preservation of the site. While the administration argued the renovation was essential, the court determined the project lacked the necessary authorization to continue.
