WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the Trump administration to suspend its construction of a $400 million ballroom where it demolished the East Wing of the White House, barring work from proceeding without congressional approval.

Bush, concluded that the National Trust for Historic Preservation is likely to succeed on the merits of its claims because “no statute comes close…
