Trump asks Supreme Court to allow White House ballroom work

President Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to permit continued construction of a $400 million ballroom at the White House without congressional approval, arguing that forcing him to seek permission would be 'dangerous.' The emergency application follows an appeals court order to halt work until Congress approves, which is set to take effect August 21. The project is 65% complete and funded by private donations.
