The construction of President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom can proceed, a federal appeals court ruled late Friday night. The judgement came just 24-hours after a lower court judge continued to block above-ground rebuild on the site of the former East Wing.
AP reports a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit put on temporary hold the order by U.S. District Judge Richard Leon halting part of the $400 million project.
The ruling marks a substantial victory for the president in his effort to redesign the storied American structure.
Construction is now expected to continue until the next hearing, which is due to take place on 5 June.
Trump demolished the East Wing last fall to build the massive ballroom in that space.

That’s nice of them
The US is getting a new $400 million ballroom for free... what is it the liberals hate about that?
The (demolished) east wing was nothing fabulous or historic...
[yes, I know... it’s rhetorical- its just their TDS]
A monument to slavery, colonialism, oppression of womyn, and pure Republican hatred of the working man! Did I mention throwing LGBTQs off the roof? (/liberals)
A more accurate title might be:
“District Court Blocking Construction of Trump’s Ballroom Overruled”
“The US is getting a new $400 million ballroom for free... what is it the liberals hate about that?”
Because it makes Trump look good?
Democrats just can’t stand that.
The judges just take turns:
Judge 1: "I hate Trump, so I am ruling against him."
Judge 2: "I understand and support the law, so I am ruling in favor of the President."
Judge 3: "I hate Trump, so I am ruling against him."
Judge 4: "I understand and support the law, so I am ruling in favor of the President."
Trump is building this ballroom for himself and for us/MAGA. Dems are upset due to this ballroom, will be used by all future Presidents. Will be a permanent reminder of President Trump/
Nice to know that we have some federal judges who put aside their personal feelings and follow the law.
Will be at SCOTUS in next to no time where Democrats will suffer their final defeat as usual.
Its more than judicial overreach.
Its a judicial coup détat .
Dems prefer Tents and porta potties....how stupid is that.
There will be extensive bunkers below
A nice clear example of how out of control this branch of government is. How I wish Trump would just ignore them.
It’s about national security and a new PEOC.
“Dems prefer Tents and porta potties....how stupid is that.”
We need to impress visiting heads of state. Obama’s porta potties and tents don’t get it done. His new presidential library has that porta potty utilitarian look.
Even a modest nation like Uruguay will do their best to impress foreign dignitaries.
I remember when the press was all smiles and giddy when O’Bummer used taxpayer money to build a basketball court in the WH.
Yep.
