特朗普总统的政府法律顾问周五晚间向上诉法院提出紧急裁决请求，要求恢复白宫东翼的施工，此前一名下级法院法官于本周早些时候叫停了该项目。这份法律文件的部分内容采用了特朗普总统社交媒体帖子的典型风格，而这种风格在法律文书中极为罕见。
政府方面辩称，不应停止施工，因为未完工的东翼可能会让总统和白宫工作人员面临“严重的国家安全风险”。
在提出这一论点时，政府披露了这座白宫新增建筑此前未公开的安保设施。根据这份动议，该建筑将使用“抗导弹钢柱”和“防无人机屋顶材料”。
此外，该建筑还将设有“炸弹避难所、医院和医疗区、防护隔断以及最高机密军事设施”。特朗普先生此前曾表示，这座可容纳1000人的宴会厅将作为地下军事掩体的“附属用房”。
法庭文件的开篇部分充斥着感叹号（“时间至关重要！”）、括号内的旁白、不当的大写（“近4亿美元的私人捐款”）以及多个用于强调的形容词（“令人震惊、史无前例且不当的禁令”）——所有这些都是这位总统在线发帖时惯用的修辞手法。

有一句话长达130个词，占据了半页多的篇幅。
“私人捐赠者和美国爱国者们独自资助了这项预算在3亿至4亿美元之间（视装修情况而定）的项目，该项目目前符合预算且进度超前。没有任何纳税人的钱被用于这个美丽、迫切需要且（就国家安全目的而言）完全安全的宴会厅的资金筹备，”文件中写道。
当被问及特朗普先生是否亲自参与了这份简要意见书的撰写时，白宫发言人未回应两次置评请求。代表总统的律师在周六上午也未立即回应置评请求。
这份简要意见书的后半部分以传统的法律术语呈现了政府要求法院采取行动的论点。
上周，联邦法官理查德·利昂发布初步禁令，要求于4月14日停止宴会厅施工。利昂的命令中也包含多个感叹号，他指出政府在继续推进该项目前必须获得国会批准。
该禁令允许部分施工继续进行，前提是这些工作“对于确保白宫的安全和安保是必要的”。
特朗普政府随即对下级法院的裁决提起上诉，并表示如果施工仍被搁置，该案可能会被提交至最高法院。
美国国家历史保护信托基金于去年12月提起了诉讼。
Did President Trump have a hand in writing the latest White House East Wing court filing?

Government lawyers for President Trump asked an appeals court late Friday for an emergency ruling to allow construction of the White House East Wing to resume after a lower court judge halted it earlier this week. Part of the legal filing is written in a style typical of President Trump’s social media posts but rarely found in legal documents.
The government argues construction should not be stopped because an unfinished East Wing leaves the president and White House staff potentially vulnerable to “grave national-security harms.”
In making that argument, the government revealed previously unknown security features of the White House addition. It will be built with “missile resistant steel columns” and “drone proof roofing materials,” according to the motion.
Additionally, the structure will house “bomb shelters, a hospital and medical area, protective partitioning, and Top Secret Military installations.” Mr. Trump recently said the 1,000-seat ballroom would act as a “shed” for an underground military bunker.
The opening pages of the court filing are loaded with exclamation points (“Time is of the essence!”), parenthetical asides, misplaced capital letters (“Almost 400 Million Dollars of private donations”) and multiple adjectives for emphasis (“shocking, unprecedented, and improper injunction”) – all rhetorical flourishes of the president’s online posts.

One sentence runs 130 words and covers more than half a page.
“Private donors and American Patriots singlehandedly funded the 300 to 400 Million Dollar project (depending on finishes), which is on budget and ahead of schedule. No taxpayer dollars are being used for the funding of this beautiful, desperately needed, and completely secure (for national security purposes) ballroom,” the filing reads.
Asked whether Mr. Trump had a hand in writing the brief, a White House spokesperson did not respond to two inquiries. Attorneys representing the president did not immediately respond to a request for comment Saturday morning.
The brief’s latter pages present the government’s argument for court action in traditional legalese.
Last week, federal judge Richard Leon issued a preliminary injunction that stops ballroom construction on April 14th. Leon’s order, which also included a number of exclamation marks, said the government must get congressional approval before continuing the project.
The injunction allows some work to continue if it was “necessary to ensure the safety and security of the White House.”
The administration immediately appealed the lower court ruling and indicated that the case could be brought to the Supreme Court if construction remains on hold.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation filed the lawsuit in December.
