*BREAKING:* The Supreme Court on Monday cleared the way for President Trump to continue construction of his $400 million White House ballroom, granting the administration’s appeal in the legal battle over the massive project. The decision follows an earlier temporary order from Chief Justice John Roberts that had allowed construction to continue while the full Supreme Court considered the matter. Lower courts had previously moved to halt above-ground construction, ruling that the project likely required congressional approval.
