The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday granted Donald Trump's request to stay two lower-court injunctions that had blocked most above-ground work on a 90,000 sq ft White House ballroom, with four justices dissenting. The lower courts had ruled Trump was likely to have violated the law; the high court's order is temporary but would likely allow completion of the bulk of construction before the underlying legal dispute is resolved. Government filings say the project is about 65% complete and is expected to finish in August 2028.
