April 11 (UPI) -- A panel of judges said Saturday it will allow construction on the White House ballroom to continue for now.
The panel of three judges in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit told the lower court judge who halted the project to seek more information about the national security risk that President Donald Trump claims the pause in construction causes.
In an earlier filing, the Trump administration said that stopping construction "would imperil the President and national security, and indefinitely leave a large hole beside the executive residence."
The planned construction includes bomb shelters, a hospital, medical area and other "top secret military installations, structures and equipment," the administration said.
