A Department of Justice attorney argued that no court has authority to challenge Trump's controversial $400 million White House ballroom project, claiming unlimited executive power.
A Department of Justice attorney stood before judges and argued that federal courts lack any authority to review Trump's $400 million plan to add a ballroom to the White House—claiming the project falls entirely outside judicial reach as an exercise of executive power. The argument essentially says the executive branch can spend that money, modify the building, and make those decisions with no court supervision whatsoever.
This claim goes far beyond typical deference to presidential decisions. It's a assertion that certain executive actions are unreviewable by design. If that argument prevails, it would mean a president could spend billions on pet projects, modify federal buildings, or restructure government facilities without any check from the judicial branch. Courts have historically maintained at least some ability to review how executive funds are spent, even when deferring to presidential judgment on policy.
