Court blocks White House ballroom project amid authorization dispute
TL;DR
A federal judge temporarily blocked the White House’s proposed $400 million, 90,000-square-foot East Wing ballroom, delaying construction and barring further action until Congress authorizes its completion; the injunction, sought by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, argues the President lacks statutory authority for the project, and it takes effect in 14 days to allow for an appeal.
