Trump files emergency motion to resume White House ballroom construction

This follows a court ruling that halted the project, which the administration called “shocking” and detrimental to safety. The motion emphasizes that the construction site poses risks and includes security features like bullet-resistant glass. Critics have raised concerns over the demolition of the East Wing and the need for congressional approval for such significant changes.
