A federal appeals court has ruled that construction of a $400 million ballroom at the White House cannot proceed without congressional approval. President Donald Trump intends to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court, characterizing it as “unjust.” The ruling centers on whether proper authorization was obtained for the project.
The court determined that building the ballroom requires congressional sign-off, halting a project Trump has described as “massive.” Trump responded with a post on social media announcing his intention to appeal to the Supreme Court. ”
Fox News reported that Trump stated the ruling jeopardizes the lives of future presidents, framing the ballroom as essential for presidential functions and security. The Blaze highlighted the case as potentially demonstrating whether Trump “might get the last laugh” in challenging what it called “utter lawlessness” by the court.
CBS News noted that senior White House correspondent Ed O’Keefe is following the story. ABC News and PBS Newshour reported on the appeals court blocking construction, without offering additional commentary on the implications.
