White House Ballroom Reconstruction

under construction

The Trump administration filed an emergency motion to restore the construction of the White House ballroom, a privately funded $400 million project. The partially built project includes deep Top Secret excavations, foundations, and structures that must be completed quickly to protect sensitive construction and security features from exposure. The administration argues that the project is necessary for the safety and security of the White House, the President, and his staff, and is challenging a federal judge's order halting the project due to lack of congressional approval.
