Historic preservationists begged #Trump in October not to rapidly demolish the White House’s #EastWing annex for his #ballroom project, urging him to wait for federal review panels & allow the public to weigh in [begging & urging don’t work on him]. Now a group charged by #Congress with helping preserve historic buildings is asking a judge to block construction until those reviews occur, arguing the ongoing project is #illegal & #unconstitutional.
