Federal Judge Halts Trumps $400M White House Ballroom Project
A federal judge in Washington has temporarily stopped the Trump administrations ambitious $400 million White House ballroom project. The project, which involved demolishing the East Wing to make way for a massive new space, was halted after a preservation group sued, claiming the administration lacked the legal authority to make such unilateral decisions. The judge, appointed by George W. Bush, agreed, stating that the president acts as a steward of the White House, not its outright owner. The project, which could accommodate 999 people in 90,000 square feet of new ballroom space, was funded by private donors, including Trump himself, and had bypassed key federal panels on planning and arts. Safety and security work can still proceed, but the projects future hangs in the balance as the administration considers an appeal.
