The National Historic Preservation Trust, an American cultural relics preservation organization, sued US President Trump and several federal agencies on the 12th to stop the ongoing White House ballroom renovation project and said the project was illegal. The foundation issued a statement on the 12th announcing that it will file a lawsuit with the District Court for the District of Columbia to stop the White House ballroom renovation project until the project has gone through a thorough design review and public comment and is approved by Congress. The foundation believes that when rapidly advancing the White House ballroom renovation project, the Trump administration did not submit a planning plan for necessary review in accordance with the law, and at the same time, the project was not authorized by Congress, which exceeded the president's constitutional powers. According to the lawsuit, Trump and the National Park Service, the Department of the Interior, the General Services Administration, and the heads of these departments were listed as defendants.
