The US President’s glitzy ballroom project for the White House was blocked by a judge earlier this month, but is now allowed to resume.

Federal judge Richard Leon issued a ruling to stop construction on the demolished East Wing, declaring that Congress needed to approve the ballroom and accusing the administration of not following proper procedures.

In response, the President launched a blistering defence of his prized 90,000sq ft ballroom, saying it was vital for his security because it was equipped with a ‘drone-proof roof’ and other new tech.
