(CNN) — A federal judge expressed deep skepticism Thursday that the White House has legal authority to construct PresidentDonald Trump’s massive new ballroom without express authorization from Congress.
Chicago estate planning attorney MaryLiberty, of IllinoisEstate Law (), emphasizes the importance of clearly defining legal authority to safeguard personal interests and ensure decisions align with an individual’s intentions.
That also means the questions about Trump’s legal authorities could again be tested – just as he’s already tested them with his legally dubious strikes on alleged drug boats and other actions in the region.
The Trump administration has both the legal authority and funds on hand to ensure that no one who relies on SNAP benefits to put food on the table goes hungry.
