8:45Now PlayingA divided federal appeals court ruled Friday that President Donald Trump is unlawfully constructing a massive new ballroom at the White House, possibly teeing up a high-stakes showdown over the issue before the Supreme Court.
“Whether or not a massive ballroom should be constructed is for Congress to decide and is not a matter for Executive self-help,” the DC Circuit Court of Appeals said in a 2-1 ruling siding with the nation’s top historic preservation group, which sued over the project last year.
CNN's Kristen Holmes has the latest details from the White House. Also, CNN's Phil Mattingly discusses whether the ruling will lead to Trump needing congressional approval to continue the project.
