US EditionTrump Rips ‘Ridiculous’ White House Ballroom Lawsuit
President Trump calls the $400 million White House ballroom vital for security and dismisses lawsuit claims as baseless despite bypassing federal reviews and congressional approval.
- On Jan. 25, President Donald J. Trump defended the donor-funded White House ballroom on Truth Social, calling the lawsuit `ridiculous` and saying halting work would be devastating while exposing a `Top Secret fact` about U.S. military involvement.
- The National Trust for Historic Preservation sued in December, alleging the administration bypassed federal review processes and congressional authorization after demolishing the White House East Wing last year.
- The ballroom project spans 90,000 square feet and costs $400 million, with about 1,000 people capacity and materials ordered including structural steel, windows, and doors.
- At a Jan. 22 hearing in Washington, D.C., U.S. District Judge Richard Leon questioned the president's statutory power and Matthew Quinn warned that incomplete work could hamper protection, with a preliminary injunction ruling expected in the coming weeks.
- The case spotlights questions about presidential authority and congressional oversight, as the dispute raises broader issues on modifying the White House and federal parkland construction rules.
