Trump's White House ballroom gets final nod days after judge halts work

US President Donald Trump's White House ballroom won final approval from a key agency on Thursday, despite a federal judge recently ordering a halt to construction unless Congress allows what would be the biggest structural change to the American landmark in more than 70 years. The 12-member National Capital Planning Commission, the agency tasked with approving construction on federal property in the Washington region, went ahead with the vote because US District Judge Richard Leon's ruling - which came two days earlier - affects construction activities but not the planning process, said the commission's Trump-appointed chair, Will Scharf.

As Trump's own frustrations mounted, he began privately discussing firing Bondi, people familiar with the matter say. "Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year," Trump said in a statement.
