Politiek · ArchiefTrump Appeals Ballroom Ruling to Supreme CourtGeschreven 7 september 2026 om 21:22 UTCKijkenTranscript0:00President Donald Trump says he will0:01appeal to the Supreme Court after losing0:03[music] at the appeals court over the0:04White House ballroom project, writing in0:06a lengthy social media post on August0:087th that the decision has been stayed0:10[music] and does not take effect for a0:11period of time. Trump recast the project0:14saying it is not a ballroom, but a top0:15medical facility and top [music]0:17security facility and a national0:18security necessity, describing it as a0:20gift of close to $400 million from what0:23he called incredible, successful [music]0:24companies and patriots. That private0:26gift account is directly contradicted by0:28CNN reporting that millions of dollars0:30were transferred from the Secret Service0:31budget for the project, undercutting the0:33claim the construction relies solely on0:35private funds. To support his position,0:37Trump quoted the descent,0:39>> [music]0:39>> which called the majority ruling a0:40blatant abuse of discretion, language0:43reported by CNN and repeated in Trump's0:45post. The stakes [music] now are funding0:46and authority, whether a project Trump0:48frames as a medical and security0:50necessity [music]0:51can be built as a privately gifted0:52facility while agency funds are0:54diverted, [music] and whether the0:55Supreme Court will agree to take the0:57case and decide if congressional0:59approval is required before the stay1:00lifts.Lees het artikelTijdlijn van het verhaalHeyDexDe korte video ↗
