Trump Sued for White House East Wing Demolition
Update: 2025-12-13
Description
The National Trust for Historic Preservation has sued President Trump over the unlawful destruction of the White Houses East Wing to make way for a new ballroom. The lawsuit alleges that Trump and top officials bypassed required legal processes, including submitting plans to the National Capital Planning Commission and obtaining Congressional approval. The East Wing, which housed first ladies offices, is a significant historical structure. The White House maintains that Trump has full legal authority to modernize and renovate the White House, but critics argue that no environmental review has been conducted and the project is not funded by taxpayer money. The lawsuit seeks an immediate halt to the ballroom project until all necessary reviews are completed and approvals secured.
