President Donald Trump discusses a Supreme Court ruling on his ballroom, the Treasury Department’s bond buybacks and more at Joint Base Andrews. U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts temporarily allowed above-ground construction of President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom to continue Friday, issuing a stay of a lower court injunction that would block the work. Roberts issued an administrative stay of a preliminary injunction entered April 16 by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, putting the injunction on hold "pending further order" from Roberts or the Supreme Court. The move puts the case in a temporary holding pattern while the Supreme Court considers whether construction can continue and the underlying legal battle plays out. Above-ground construction can continue for now. JUDGE ORDERS TRUMP TO HALT WHITE HOUSE BALL
