The District of Columbia and Virginia filed a joint lawsuit in federal court on Saturday to stop construction of a large triumphal arch championed by President Donald Trump, calling the project “flagrantly unlawful” and urging judges to intervene before work begins. Attorneys general Brian Schwalb of D.C. and Jay Jones of Virginia warned that once groundbreaking starts, the administration could argue that pausing it would create national security risks. [1] [2]
