Kennedy Family Seeks Court Intervention to Block Trump-Backed Arch Construction
The Kennedy family has filed a motion to intervene in a lawsuit opposing the construction of a 250-foot-tall triumphal arch in Washington, proposed by former President Donald Trump. They argue the arch would obstruct the line of sight between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery, where several Kennedy family members, including John F. Kennedy, are buried. A federal judge has temporarily halted construction to review legal challenges, which include concerns about the arch overshadowing memorial gravesites and altering the cemetery's design.
