Supreme Court Allows White House to Continue Construction on $400 Million Ballroom Project

A divided U.S. Supreme Court has permitted the White House to proceed with the construction of a $400 million ballroom project, overturning a lower court order that had halted above-ground work. This decision marks a victory for President Donald Trump, who has faced legal challenges from a preservationist group arguing the project lacked congressional approval. Chief Justice John Roberts publicly dissented, stating the project is "likely unlawful" because it has not been approved by Congress.
