WASHINGTON \u2014 The dance goes on for President Trump\u2019s White House ballroom.<\/p>\n

Work on the massive structure can continue for now, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts ruled Friday, hours before a court order to stop construction would have taken effect.<\/p>\n

The reprieve allows the $400 million building job to continue as the high court mulls the administration\u2019s emergency plea for intervention.<\/p>\n

Trump last week asked the Supreme Court to suspend a decision by the DC Circuit Court of Appeals that would have halted the project at 11:59 p.m. ET Friday.<\/p>\n

Roberts\u2019 ruling doesn\u2019t address the legality of the project, which two lower courts have said is unlawful due to a lack of congressional approval.<\/p>\n

Solicitor General D. John Sauer, arguing for the administration, told the Supreme Court in his plea for relief that the renovations are \u201cabsolutely required and should not be enjoined\u201d because any delay threatens President Trump\u2019s safety after recent assassination plots against him.<\/p>\n

He also pointed out the ballroom is already \u201c65% complete\u201d and \u201cmoving quickly toward total completion,\u201d which would render the court fight moot.<\/p>\n
