Trump's White House ballroom faces major legal challenge

A federal appeals court heard arguments in a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump's ballroom on White House grounds. During the hearing, a judge challenged the Justice Department's position on who would have standing to sue after the demolition of the East Wing, leading to a tense courtroom exchange. The Trump administration argues national security concerns justified the demolition without congressional approval, while opponents say Congress must authorize major changes to the White House complex. ------------------------------------- Follow Scripps News on other platforms— Join our newsletter at https://bit.ly/2q1tepr Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/scrippsnews/ Follow us on X: https://x.com/scrippsnews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scrippsnews/ Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@scrippsnews
