Trump asks US Supreme Court to allow $400m ballroom project to proceed
Appeals court previously ruled that Trump administration must seek authorisation from Congress to continue with project. The administration of United States President Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to allow construction of his $400m ballroom to move forward. On Friday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) asked the country’s highest court for a stay on a lower court’s injunction that paused Trump’s building efforts while litigation proceeds. The DOJ argued that construction on the ballroom, a topic of persistent focus for Trump , is necessary for security reasons. “This case involves an extraordinary and unlawful injunction that will halt the ongoing construction of the integrated military complex, including a totally secure ballroom space, at the East Wing of the White House, which is vitally required by national security,” the DOJ wrote. Trump’s appeal to the Supreme Court was expected.
