No court has authority to block Trump’s White House ballroom, DoJ lawyer says
The Trump administration has requested the DC circuit court of appeals to overturn a lower court decision blocking construction of a $400m White House ballroom. A Department of Justice lawyer argued no court has authority to halt the project, stating only Congress could intervene, while construction of an underground secure bunker is permitted amid ongoing disputes.
