Appeals Court Blocks White House Ballroom
The ruling confirms a decision preventing renovations for the ballroom desired by Trump.
The appeals court has upheld a previous ruling that blocks work on the White House ballroom, a project strongly advocated by former President Donald Trump. The court determined that congressional approval is necessary to proceed with the renovations.
Trump described the decision as "horrendous" and stated that he will file an appeal. According to Trump, the ruling is motivated by political reasons. The court granted a two-week postponement to allow for a potential appeal to the Supreme Court.
