Supreme Court Blocks Pause on Trump’s White House Ballroom, 5-4

by | Aug 31, 2026

The Supreme Court on Monday kept construction of President Trump’s White House ballroom moving, wiping out lower-court orders that would have paused the project.

 

The vote was 5-4. The unsigned opinion said the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the group that sued to stop the work, did not have the legal right to sue. Chief Justice John Roberts dissented with the three liberal justices.
