(The Center Square) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday temporarily allowed continued construction on President Donald Trump's estimated $400 million White House ballroom.
Chief Justice John Roberts issued a stay on Friday temporarily stopping a D.C. District Court's injunction against further construction on the ballroom. The D.C. court's injunction comes after a lawsuit from the National Trust for Historic Preservation urged an end to the ballroom's construction.Â
