Construction of White House ballroom must stop, federal judge orders
"The President of the United States is the steward of the White House for future generations of First Families. He is not, however, the owner!"
"This is a win for the American people on a project that forever impacts one of the most beloved and iconic places in our nation."
"This case, in essence, is about whether the President has the authority to build a ballroom on White House grounds with private funds without seeking authorisation from Congress."
A district court judge ruled against President Trump's East Wing ballroom project, requiring congressional approval before further construction. The ruling, which includes 19 exclamation points, was issued just before a planned meeting of the National Capital Planning Commission. White House lawyers were given 14 days to appeal. The National Trust for Historic Preservation welcomed the decision, viewing it as a victory for the American public. Trump criticized the ruling on his platform, questioning the motives behind the lawsuit while highlighting other national issues.
