Trump accuses nonprofit organization of revealing ‘top military secrets’ in ballroom case
The administration says the $600 million project is needed for security and large events as lower courts block above-ground work.
- On Friday, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to reverse lower court rulings halting construction of the East Wing ballroom, arguing the $600 million project is critical for hosting world leaders securely.
- A federal court ruled last week that the National Trust for Historic Preservation suit must halt construction due to lack of congressional approval; the project began last year after Trump ordered the East Wing demolished.
- Trump attacked the National Trust on Truth Social, calling the group "TREASONISTS" for allegedly revealing "top secret military features" in court filings while insisting the facility is "vital to our National Security."
- The administration's Friday filing cited the alleged "threat of a missile attack against Air Force One on July 8" to support its security argument, though some U.S. intelligence officials dispute the credibility of this Iranian threat claim.
- Construction is "moving quickly towards completion," according to the administration, while the appeals court's two-week timeline gives the Supreme Court a narrow window to intervene before work resumes.
