Court to Rule on Trump White House Ballroom Fight

A federal court under Judge Richard Leon prepares to rule this month on whether President Trump's $400 million White House ballroom project can proceed, after the National Trust for Historic Preservation sued to halt it over skipped congressional approval and historic reviews. The administration demolished the East Wing without public process, funding the 90,000-square-foot ballroom plus new offices and theater entirely through private donors like Amazon and Google execs, bypassing bureaucracy.
