Supreme Court allows Trump's White House ballroom construction to continue temporarily

Chief Justice John Roberts has temporarily allowed construction to continue on President Donald Trump's $400 million White House ballroom project. The Supreme Court is considering an emergency request from the Trump administration to intervene in lawsuits that sought to halt the project due to a lack of congressional approval. This temporary order will remain in effect until the Supreme Court makes a more definitive ruling, with the administration arguing the project is vital for national security and funded by private donations.
