Supreme Court lets Trump's White House ballroom construction continue for now
- On Monday, the Supreme Court allowed the White House to continue construction on President Donald Trump's $400 million ballroom project, replacing a temporary order from Chief Justice John Roberts.
- District Judge Richard Leon previously halted the project, ruling it lacked necessary congressional approval after the National Trust sued to stop demolition of the East Wing.
- Lawyers for the National Trust accused the White House of trying to "outrun the courts" by accelerating construction on the 90,000-square-foot ballroom, where crews work 20 hours a day.
- Solicitor General John Sauer argued the project is "vitally required by national security," while lower court judges found the construction was not a matter for Executive self-help.
- As the lawsuit returns to lower courts, court documents indicate the ballroom framework should be completed by November, with full completion slated for August 2028.
