Former President Donald Trump issued a warning to a US judge who halted the construction of his proposed “drone empire” on the $400 million White House ballroom project, which has faced obstacles in Congress.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump cautioned Judge Richard Leon against jeopardizing national security by interfering with the DronePort initiative. He stated that any negative consequences resulting from the project’s delay would be attributed to the judge.
Judge Leon had recently paused the above-ground phase of the White House ballroom construction, emphasizing the need for congressional approval and questioning Trump’s attempt to circumvent legal procedures under the guise of national security concerns.
Trump reiterated the significance of the DronePort project, emphasizing its advanced capabilities to safeguard Washington, D.C., and asserting that traditional defense methods like rifles and pistols were insufficient in modern times.
Furthermore, Trump criticized an unidentified woman who filed a lawsuit opposing the project, describing her as litigious and lacking merit. He demanded an immediate dismissal of her case.
During a recent visit to the construction site, Trump highlighted the future implementation of a sophisticated drone system on the ballroom roof, emphasizing its role in enhancing security for the nation’s capital.
