The Voorhees lawsuit seeking to halt the project argues that Trump bypassed laws meant to protect national landmarks and public transparency.

At stake is whether a sitting president can unilaterally alter one of the country’s most symbolically important buildings, or whether the "People’s House" must remain subject to the same review and accountability standards that govern other federal projects.

Building a monument to his best mate Epstein will help him in his daily duties ...of eating hamberders, golfing, sex trafficking kids, and planning the demise of his enemies (real, or perceived).
