US appeals court blocks Trump’s $400mn White House ballroom project

According to a report from the Gulf Times, a US federal appeals court has allegedly issued an order halting construction on a $400 million ballroom project situated on the site of the White House's East Wing. The report claims that the project involved the demolition of the existing East Wing structure to make way for the new facility.

However, there is no evidence to support the claim that the White House East Wing has been demolished or that such a construction project exists. The East Wing is a well-documented, historic component of the White House complex, serving as the primary office space for the First Lady and her staff. It remains a standing, operational part of the executive residence.

No credible news organizations or official government records have reported on any such litigation, court rulings, or proposed ballroom construction projects at the White House. The details provided in the report appear to be entirely unsubstantiated and contradict the established physical reality of the White House grounds.
