Former President Donald Trump has expressed anger over a federal court ruling that has once again halted his ambitious $400 million White House ballroom construction project.
The judicial decision prohibits any above-ground building activities for the massive ballroom complex, though it does permit continued underground construction of bunker facilities and other national security infrastructure at the Washington location.
Construction crews can only proceed with below-ground work on security bunkers and related “national security facilities” while the legal battle continues over the controversial project.
The ballroom construction site sits where the East Wing previously stood, representing a significant architectural change to the historic White House complex.
This latest court intervention marks another setback for the high-profile project, which has faced ongoing legal challenges since its inception.
