> The Trump administration has asked the US Supreme Court to let work continue on its $400 million White House ballroom. Justice Department lawyers call the secure space vital to national security, while an appeals court ruled the project lacked congressional approval and ordered above-ground construction to stop. The National Trust for Historic Preservation urged the court to reject the appeal.
