A federal court issued a stop-work order on President Trump's $400 million White House ballroom project, citing a lack of congressional approval.

While the administration has appealed the ruling, construction continues on "safety" related aspects of the site.

The Illinois Supreme Court ruled that White Castle violated privacy laws by requiring employees to provide fingerprints for paychecks without consent and sharing that data with third parties.

White House spokesperson Josh Ernest addresses the ongoing military justice process for Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl. Ernest emphasizes the President's commitment to the "no man left behind" principle while avoiding comments that could influence the court-martial.
