Court Blocks Above-Ground Phase of White House Ballroom Project
TL;DR Summary
A federal judge blocked above-ground construction on the Trump administration’s planned $400 million White House ballroom, allowing only below-ground work and minimal above-ground steps needed to protect national-security facilities; the National Trust for Historic Preservation is suing to halt the project, which includes demolishing the East Wing, following prior injunctions and a circuit-court directive to assess national-security implications.
