Trump's White House ballroom won key planning approval but faces delays after a judge halted construction pending congressional approval

The board had been expected to vote to approve the project last month, but it was delayed after about 32,000 mostly negative comments rolled in from across the country.

The National Capital Planning Commission is set to vote Thursday afternoon on President Trump’s White House ballroom project, despite a recent court order blocking construction. The vote was initially delayed after the panel heard hours of criticism from its own members and the public.
