All construction of Trump's White House ballroom can resume, appeals court says

After the ruling the president, took to Truth Social to accuse the judge of "attempting to prevent future Presidents and World Leaders from having a safe and secure large scale Meeting Place"."It's all tied together as one big, expensive, and very complex unit, which is vital for National Security and Military Operations of the United States of America!" Trump wrote, adding the underground complex would include bomb shelters and medical facilities.He also said that the ballroom was "needed now" and that "no judge can be allowed to stop" it.The Justice Department filed an appeal against Leon's ruling on Thursday, arguing it "would imperil the President and national security and indefinitely leave a large hole beside the Executive Residence."The BBC has contacted the White House for comment. The judge temporarily halted the construction project in late March, ruling that proper procedures were not followed before it began.That decision came after the White House was sued by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.The preservation group's lawsuit, filed last year, alleges that the White House broke the law when it began construction on the ballroom and bunker without filing plans with the National Capital Planning Commission and by declining to seek authorisation from Congress.
