Acting AG Blanche Asks Court to Resume White House Ballroom Construction
Acting Attorney General Blanche has filed a request with the court to allow construction of the White House ballroom to resume. The request comes after a press dinner shooting at the White House.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has submitted a statement in support of the request, adopting Trump-style language and tone. The statement emphasizes the importance of completing the project as planned.
A Senate Republican has expressed concerns about the cost of the project, citing $39 trillion in national debt. However, no further details have been provided on how this relates to the ballroom construction.
The New York Times reported that the DOJ is asking the court to allow the construction to proceed, while The Atlantic published an opinion piece titled “This Is Why We Need a Ballroom.”
The Hill also reported on the development, stating that the Senate Republican has expressed concerns about the project’s cost.
