The National Trust for Historic Preservation filed suit in U.S. District Court on Dec. 12, 2025 to stop President Trump’s White House ballroom project, arguing it must undergo design and environmental reviews, public comment, and secure congressional approval. The complaint alleges violations of the Administrative Procedure Act and NEPA and says the president exceeded his constitutional authority by fast‑tracking work after demolishing the East Wing.
