Supreme Court Grants Stay for White House Ballroom; Trump Claims Private Funding
President Donald Trump said the White House ballroom addition is being financed entirely by private donors, despite the contractor’s estimate that more than half of the $600 million cost would be borne by taxpayers. The U. S.
Supreme Court also issued a temporary order allowing the administration to continue the above-ground construction while the legal dispute proceeds. The Justice Department filed a petition to lift the lower-court injunction, arguing that the pause creates an unacceptable security risk, including a reported missile threat to Air Force One. Earlier, the White House had asked the Supreme Court to suspend the injunction, contending that the decision should rest with the President.
