The Supreme Court handed President Donald Trump a major yet temporary win on Friday by allowing construction to continue on the White House ballroom for now.

The high court issued an administrative stay on its emergency docket, signed by Chief Justice John Roberts, allowing construction to continue on the ballroom. The stay will be in place as the Supreme Court continues to deliberate on an emergency petition from the DOJ seeking to lift a ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit that would have stopped construction of the ballroom project beginning on Friday. The Supreme Court could issue a firm ruling on that petition at any time.
