A historic preservation group seeks to halt President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom construction, arguing he violated federal statutes and bypassed Congress.
President Donald Trump is being sued by a historic preservation group seeking to stop construction of his new White House ballroom.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation filed a lawsuit Friday against the Trump administration, arguing that it skipped mandatory reviews and failed to seek congressional approval before demolishing the East Wing of the White House.
“No president is legally allowed to tear down portions of the White House without any review whatsoever — not President Trump, not President Biden, and not anyone else”, the lawsuit stated. “And no president is legally allowed to construct a ballroom on public property without giving the public the opportunity to weigh in.
