Trump administration seizes on shooting to make case again for White House ballroom

The Trump administration argues a recent shooting near the White House underscores the need for a new ballroom with advanced security features. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche opposes a court order halting construction of the 90,000-square-foot ballroom, which replaces the East Wing and Jacqueline Kennedy Garden. The project, funded by private donors according to Trump, faces legal challenges from the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
