The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that President Trump could continue his construction of a huge new ballroom for the White House where the East Wing used to be.
Lower-court rulings would have blocked construction of the 90,000-square-foot ballroom after finding that the Trump administration should have first sought approval from Congress.
Prosecutors led by Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney in Washington, argued that Melissa Farris posed a flight risk and asked the court to reverse its decision.
The J. Edgar Hoover F.B.I. Building in Washington last year. An imposing symbol of the F.B.I.’s vast federal powers when it opened in 1974, the building has long been deteriorating.
