A Justice Department official stated that the proposed “Drone Port and Sniper Nests” in the new White House ballroom could effectively neutralize any attempt to attack the recent Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event. This statement comes after an aborted attack on the event, which took place on the White House grounds over the weekend.
The Trump administration asserts that this incident underscores the necessity of constructing the new ballroom. Located on the grounds of the White House, the ballroom would offer enhanced security features. Nathan Howard from Reuters captured this assertion in a recent report.
The Justice Department is seeking permission from a federal appeals court to allow President Donald Trump to proceed with the ballroom’s construction. Officials argue that the facility’s advanced security measures would help in preventing similar attacks in the future. The proposed facility would enhance the ability to safeguard high-profile events held at the White House.
