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.
