Trump's $400M White House ballroom construction faces legal review

A federal appeals court has instructed a judge to reconsider the national security implications of halting construction on President Trump's $400 million White House ballroom. The case originated from a ruling that prohibited work without congressional approval, though it allowed for necessary safety measures. Government attorneys argued that the project includes critical security features against various threats. The appeals court extended the pause on construction for an additional three days to allow the administration to seek a Supreme Court review.
