Washington, D.C. – In a 6‑3 decision, the United States Supreme Court lifted a lower‑court injunction that had halted former President Donald Trump’s proposed luxury ballroom development on the historic site of the former Mar-a-Lago annex in Palm Beach. The Court ruled that the plaintiffs had not demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits of their environmental and historic‑preservation claims. The ruling clears the way for construction to resume later this year.
In a separate development, Army Secretary Christine Wormuth announced her resignation effective immediately, citing personal reasons. Her departure follows a series of high‑profile disagreements over defense spending and the handling of overseas troop deployments. Defense analysts predict a rapid nomination process to fill the vacancy, with several senior generals and former lawmakers being floated as potential successors.
