Obama-Biden Judges Just Blocked Construction on the President’s Residence — But the Joke’s On Them

A man tried to assassinate the President of the United States at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in April. Trump’s response was to build a more secure venue on White House grounds — a $400 million, 22,000-square-foot ballroom that eliminates the need to hold major events at external venues where security gaps are harder to control.

Two judges just told him he can’t.

The D.C. Circuit Court ruled 2-1 that the Trump administration likely cannot demolish the East Wing or proceed with above-ground construction on the new White House Ballroom without congressional authorization. The two judges in the majority — Patricia Millett, an Obama appointee, and Brad Garcia, a Biden appointee — apparently believe that the executive branch needs legislative permission to renovate the president’s own residence and working facility.

A K9 appeared to be suspicious of White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting suspect Cole Allen but was pulled away just seconds before Allen charged through security.

The dog was seen following Allen through a doorway but was pulled back by its handler.
