The Supreme Court on Friday allowed President Donald Trump , for now, to continue construction on his controversial White House ballroom project.
Chief Justice John Roberts , in an order, stayed a federal district court judge 's injunction, which had barred Trump from continuing construction while a lawsuit challenging the ballroom project played out.
Roberts' order came on the same day the injunction was scheduled to take effect.
The order is an administrative stay, which could be lifted by the entire Supreme Court.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., blasted the Supreme Court's action in a post on X.
"The MAGA Supreme Court is rubber stamping Trump's vanity-driven, gilded corruption," Schumer wrote. "As costs skyrocket, the administration is wasting money on an endless and illegal war, corporate giveaways, and Trump's pet projects."
" Democrats are laser focused on the issues that Americans care about," Schumer said. "We will continue to fight this flagrant waste of taxpayer money relentlessly in the courts."
Trump in 2025 had the White House's East Wing demolished, without notifying Congress, to make way for the planned, 90,000 square-foot ballroom, which is projected to cost $400 million or more.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation is suing Trump to block the project on the grounds that Trump did not obtain required authorization or reviews for it.
