Supreme Court chief justice allows construction on White House ballroom to continue
Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has allowed construction on President Donald Trump's East Wing ballroom project at the White House to continue. The decision came after Roberts issued an administrative stay of a lower court order that was set to halt most above-ground construction on the $400 million project. The stay does not take a stance on Trump's appeal of the injunction or explain the court's need for more time to make a formal decision.
Construction can now proceed as planned, with the administration describing the project as a military complex that is 65% complete.
