  "account": "Former US President Donald Trump has petitioned the Supreme Court to allow construction of a White House ballroom to continue, despite a recent legal setback. The emergency filing came after a Washington appeals court affirmed a judge's ruling that would halt above-ground work at the site. Trump's legal team seeks to keep the project on track while the broader lawsuit surrounding the construction remains pending. The planned ballroom is part of Trump's broader vision for a significant White House complex expansion, which has drawn considerable legal and political attention.",
  "summary": "US President Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to allow construction of a planned White House ballroom to continue, challenging a lower court order that would halt above-ground work.",
