The United States Supreme Court on Monday permitted President Donald Trump to proceed with the construction of a new ballroom at the White House, handing the president a significant victory in a legal battle over one of his major second-term projects.
In a 5-4 decision, the conservative-majority court overturned a lower court order that had stopped the construction work. Chief Justice John Roberts joined the court’s three liberal justices in opposing the decision.
Roberts had earlier issued a temporary ruling allowing the project to continue while the Supreme Court reviewed the case before delivering its latest decision.
