JUST IN: Appeals Court Hands President Trump BIG WIN on White House Ballroom!


This just in: construction of the White House ballroom is back on!

A federal appeals court has overturned a prior ruling from a rogue judge who tried to block construction of the ballroom.

Today, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 to allow President Trump to continue building the White House ballroom — at least, temporarily.

This is a huge win!

But, the battle isn’t over, yet.

The court’s order only applies short-term while the case is reviewed further.

The Washington Post reported further:

A panel of federal judges is allowing construction to continue for now on President Donald Trump’s planned White House ballroom while instructing a lower court that temporarily halted the project to seek more information on whether a pause poses a national security risk as Trump claims.

The three-judge panel at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit consists of Patricia Ann Millett, an appointee of President Barack Obama; Bradley Garcia, an appointee of President Joe Biden; and Neomi Rao, a Trump appointee.

Rao dissented, arguing that the plaintiff in the case, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, a nonprofit charged by Congress with helping to preserve historic buildings, lacked the standing to sue.

In its order issued Saturday, the panel instructed U.S. District Judge Richard Leon, who in March ordered a halt to Trump’s planned $400 million project until the White House obtains approval from Congress, to clarify how his earlier ruling “will ensure safety and security pending litigation.”
