Federal judge orders halt to Trump White House ballroom project; DOJ to appeal

A federal judge blocked construction of Trump's White House ballroom project, ruling the president lacked authority as DOJ prepares to appeal the decision.

A federal judge on Tuesday ordered construction of the White House ballroom project halted, siding with a historic preservation group that argued the effort violated federal law.

U.S. District Judge Richard Leon said the group is likely to succeed on the merits of its case, writing that "no statute comes close to giving the President the authority he claims to have," according to the ruling.

The injunction temporarily stops work on the project, though the judge delayed enforcement for 14 days to allow the White House time to appeal.

Comment:
This is just the Far Left trying to harass Trump.
They have already turn down the east wing.
What do they want them to do; rebuild it?
Past presidents have built swimming pools, bowling alleys, basket ball courts.....
The ballroom will allow presidents to host big events year-round instead of hosting events in tents on the lawn with portapottys.

Sorry but it is not the far left harassing anybody. This was discussed from the get. Trump didn't need permission to level the east wing but he needed local approval before he could rebuild it.

Why?

Because the case turns on identifying actual congressional authorization for Trump to tear down a building and replace it.

The administration tries but the law they point to governs maintenance and like HVAC issues.

Yes, presidents have the authority to make construction changes to the White House, as it is exempt from certain historic preservation laws. However, they typically follow a review process with the National Capital Planning Commission, even if not legally required

Let Trump speak for himself. Congressional approval not necessary.
