Trump White House ballroom gets final OK after judge's halt order

President Donald Trump's new White House ballroom has gotten final approval from a key commission. This comes after a federal judge ordered a halt to construction unless Congress approves the project. The Trump-appointed chair of the National Capital Planning Commission said the agency moved ahead with Thursday's vote because the judge’s ruling affects construction, not planning. The ballroom is estimated to cost $400 million and has faced opposition and legal challenges. The Republican president aims to complete the ballroom project before his term ends in 2029. The ballroom will include security upgrades and is funded by donations and public dollars for security enhancements.

Sure. It's the Capitol Police's fault, not #Trump's. They didn't compensate for the large, traitorous mob Trump sent to destroy #Democracy, so it's their fault.
