Legal Challenge Halts White House Alterations

U.S. District Judge Richard Leon blocked Trump's $400M White House ballroom project.
National Trust sued administration for demolishing East Wing without congressional approval.
Trump vowed the ballroom would be the 'finest' with a 250-foot arch.
Commission of Fine Arts approved design 6-0 in February.
Leon's ruling delays construction and shifts control to legal proceedings.
