DOJ’s Truth Social-inspired filing lists out ‘Top Secret’ additions to sprawling project after gunman opens fire near checkpoint
Donald Trump’s Department of Justice says a recent shooting near the White House underscores the “critical need” for the president’s $400 million ballroom project as government lawyers demand a federal judge lift an order blocking its construction.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche sprinted to federal court one day after a gunman opened fire near a security checkpoint and struck a bystander. The suspect, 21-year-old Nasire Best, was fatally shot by Secret Service officers.
Trump was inside the White House at the time and unharmed, but the proposed ballroom would provide a “SAFE HAVEN” from would-be attackers in the future, according to Sunday night’s Truth Social-inspired filing from the Justice Department.
The white house is built on a steel frame. The wood is a facade. The mansion is surrounded by fences and the secret service. The mansion sits in the middle of 18 acres of land, surrounded by other buildings. The basement is 2 stories.
But sure, only a ballroom will keep the president safe.
Not to mention that the security checkpoint worked, invalidating the entire argument.
