Trump's ballroom push shows his disdain for judicial review
President Donald Trump's White House ballroom project, which involves expanding the Executive Residence, faces legal challenges requiring congressional approval. The Justice Department argues federal courts cannot halt the project, asserting it serves national security interests, while U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruled the project must stop until Congress authorizes it.
