@sacramentourbanmedia916: President Donald Trump is escalating his criticism of a federal judge who halted construction of a proposed White House ballroom, arguing the project is essential for national security. In a social media post, Trump said Judge Richard Leon should be held accountable if delays to the project contribute to future security threats against Washington, D.C. The president has promoted the planned $400 million ballroom as a high-tech facility that would also function as a drone defense hub. The dispute stems from a court order issued earlier this year that blocked above-ground construction of the project while legal challenges continue. Trump and his allies have argued the facility would improve security around the White House, while opponents contend the project lacks proper legal authorization. The Justice Department has also urged the court to lift the restrictions, citing concerns about presidential security. Meanwhile, preservation groups behind the lawsuit say they intend to continue fighting the project in court. The legal battle over the proposed ballroom remains ongoing #fyp #viral
