Justice Department Legal Argument for the White House Ballroom Reads Like a Trump Social Media Post
DOJ says the injunction should be dissolved and argues the ballroom is needed for national security, in a filing signed by senior political appointees.
- On Monday, the Justice Department filed a motion asking U.S. District Judge Richard Leon to issue an 'indicative ruling' to dissolve the injunction halting construction of President Donald Trump's $400 million White House ballroom.
- Following the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, the Department argued the ballroom is 'required for National Security' to ensure the safety of the President and his staff.
- The filing employs an aggressive tone, mocking the National Trust for Historic Preservation and lawyer Gregory Craig by alleging they suffer from 'Trump Derangement Syndrome.'
- Rejecting the request to drop the lawsuit, the National Trust stood firm as legal experts criticized the filing's unusual style, calling it 'embarrassing' for a federal brief.
- Sen. Rand Paul introduced legislation yesterday aiming to authorize the ballroom project, potentially bypassing the litigation that Judge Richard Leon previously halted due to lack of congressional approval.
