A federal judge limited President Trump’s White House ballroom project to underground work deemed necessary by the military, blocking the 90,000-square-foot aboveground addition pending congressional approval; some national security work may continue, while the Trump administration appeals the ruling and critics argue there is no national-security emergency.
