The Trump administration filed an emergency motion to resume the construction of a $400M White House ballroom after a federal judge halted the project over a lack of Congressional approval.National Park Service lawyers argued that pausing the fortified project, which includes bomb shelters and military facilities, creates a national security risk by leaving the site exposed.While US District Judge
Richard Leon ruled that
Donald Trump lacks authority for the renovation without legislative consent, the administration is prepared to appeal the case to the
Supreme Court.
