“President Donald Trump sought U.S. Supreme Court approval to keep building his massive new White House ballroom after two lower courts said he was flouting the law by proceeding without congressional authorization,” Bloomberg reports.
“In a filing made public Friday, Trump asked the justices for an emergency order letting construction continue without restrictions while a legal fight continues. An appeals court ruling blocking above-ground work will take effect Aug. 21 unless the Supreme Court intervenes.”
