“President Trump cannot continue building the ballroom he planned as a replacement to the East Wing of the White House without explicit approval from Congress, a federal appeals court panel ruled on Friday,” the New York Times reports.
“The ruling, by judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, dealt a blow to the president’s efforts to press ahead with the project and all but guaranteed that the Supreme Court will decide the ballroom’s fate.”
