PoliticsAppeals court rules Trump is unlawfully constructing White House ballroom

A divided federal appeals court has ruled that Donald Trump is unlawfully constructing a massive ballroom at the White House. In a 2-1 decision, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals said Congress, rather than the executive branch acting on its own, must decide whether such a project should proceed. The ruling backed the nation’s leading historic preservation group, which challenged the plan in court. The dispute could now set up a high-stakes confrontation before the Supreme Court.
