代理司法部长托德·布兰奇已正式请求一名联邦法官推翻其此前叫停白宫舞厅建设的裁决。在周一晚间提交的一份9页文件中，布兰奇辩称，白宫记者协会晚宴枪击事件证明，该舞厅对总统的安全至关重要，必须允许恢复施工。
联邦法官理查德·利昂本月早些时候发布了初步禁令，暂停地上建筑施工，直至本届政府获得国会批准。东翼下方的总统地堡建设不受该禁令限制。
目前正在审查此案的联邦上诉法院已临时允许所有施工继续进行，并将于6月初听取进一步辩论。
针对该建设项目的诉讼最初于去年年底由历史保护信托基金提起。该机构周一表示，无意撤回诉讼，称其“未危害任何人，只是恭敬地要求政府遵守法律”。
布兰奇的文件请求利昂法官给出指示性裁决——本质上是请求利昂考虑此次晚宴枪击事件的影响，并表明如果上诉法院将案件发回重审，他是否会解除禁令或驳回此案。
利昂此前对该项目4亿美元的私人融资安排以及缺乏国会参与表示过担忧。参议院国土安全委员会主席、共和党人兰德·保罗周一表示，他将提出一项允许舞厅建设的法案。
布兰奇的行文风格有时会模仿特朗普总统的社交媒体帖子，他辩称：“周六的惊险一击……证实了本应早已显而易见的事实：总统们需要一个举办大型活动的安全场所，而目前华盛顿特区并不存在这样的场所。”
布兰奇称，周六的枪击事件“绝不可能在新场馆中发生”，且“该项目对国家安全至关重要”。
政府的动议附带了特勤局副局长马修·奎因的宣誓证词，奎因在证词中证实了“大型场外场地的安全局限性”。
奎因写道，此类活动会让普通公众近距离接触活动参与者，而白宫“是拥有永久安全基础设施的受控设施”。
涉案枪手科尔·艾伦周一被控在华盛顿希尔顿酒店企图暗杀特朗普总统。
1981年罗纳德·里根总统在酒店外遇刺未遂后，该酒店加装了安保设施，以应对未来的总统到访。两党总统通常每年都会多次出席在希尔顿酒店举办的活动。
在法庭文件中，布兰奇多次从政治角度抨击该信托基金，称他们“患有特朗普仇恨综合征，通常简称TDS”。
政府辩称：“如果任何其他总统具备建造这座舞厅所需的能力、远见或才华，那么绝不会有人提起诉讼。这座舞厅将成为全球同类建筑中最宏伟、最安全、最稳固的建筑之一。”
该信托基金未立即回复置评请求。

Acting AG Blanche asks court to let White House ballroom construction resume after press dinner shooting
April 28, 2026 / 3:28 AM EDT / CBS News
By Arden Farhi
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has formally asked a federal judge to overturn the judge’s own ruling that blocked construction of the White House ballroom. In a 9-page filing late Monday, Blanche argued that the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner is proof that the ballroom is necessary for the president’s safety and construction must be allowed to proceed.
Federal Judge Richard Leon imposed a preliminary injunction earlier this month that paused above-ground construction until the administration obtains congressional approval. Construction of a presidential bunker beneath the East Wing was not subject to the injunction.
A federal appellate court now reviewing the case then allowed all construction to continue temporarily and will hear further arguments in early June.
The lawsuit against construction was initially filed late last year by the Trust for Historic Preservation. It said Monday it had no intention of dropping its suit “which endangers no one and which respectfully asks the Administration to follow the law.”
Blanche’s filing asks Judge Leon for an indicative ruling – essentially a request for Leon to consider the impact of the dinner shooting and state whether he would lift the injunction or throw out the case if it were sent back to him by the appellate court.
Leon has expressed reservations about the project’s $400 million private financing arrangement and the lack of congressional input. Republican Rand Paul, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, said Monday he would introduce legislation to permit ballroom construction.
Blanche, whose writing at times mirrors President Trump’s social media posts, argues “Saturday’s narrow miss [at the dinner] … confirms what should have already been obvious: Presidents need a secure space for large events, that currently does not exist in Washington, D.C.”
Blanche claims Saturday’s shooting “could never have taken place in the new facility” and “the Project is required for National Security.”
The government’s motion is accompanied by a sworn affidavit from Secret Service deputy director Matthew Quinn, who attests to the “security limitations of large off-site venues.”
Such events bring members of the public into close proximity of the event, Quinn writes, while the White House “is a controlled facility with a permanent security infrastructure.”
Alleged gunman Cole Allen was charged Monday with attempting to assassinate President Trump at the Washington Hilton.
After an attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan outside the hotel in 1981, the building was retrofitted with security measures to accommodate future presidential visits. Presidents of both parties typically attend events at the Hilton multiple times per year.
In the court filing, Blanche repeatedly attacks the trust on political grounds, saying “they suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome, commonly referred to as TDS.”
“If any other President had the ability, foresight, or talents necessary, to build this ballroom, which will be one of the greatest, safest, and most secure structures of its kind anywhere in the World, there would never have been a lawsuit,” the government argues.
The trust did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
