Earlier this month, a federal judge ordered construction on the ballroom to come to a halt, stating Trump is not the owner of the White House. In the new filings, the administration says stopping construction now would "imperil the President and national security." It's asking the court for a new ruling today, and says it will appeal to the Supreme Court if construction is not allowed to continue.
