It's gotten great reviews, people love it, and presidents for 150 years have wanted this ballroom to be built because when we have president Xi or other presidents or prime ministers coming, we don't have a big room, we have the East Room. President Trump Tuesday, after a legal set back to his White House ballroom project, but Lisa Dwyer reports he just got a win. President Trump's new ballroom has won final approval from the National Capital Planning Commission. That approval comes after a federal judge ordered a halt to construction, and thus Congress approves the project. The Planning Commission says the agency moved ahead on the vote because the judge's ruling affects construction activities, not planning.

I'm Lisa Dwyer, and I'm Ben Thomas.
