Trump ballroom lawyers say project essential for 'national security' [View all]

By David Edwards

President Donald Trump's administration insisted that there would be "national security implications" if the new White House ballroom was not built immediately.

In a motion opposing an injunction to halt the building of a massive White House addition, attorneys for the National Park Service warned there could be "an emergency situation" if the project were paused.

"Defendants have strong arguments for appeal, and the equities and public interest weigh overwhelmingly against suspending construction in the interim," the motion stated.
