    Preservationists Seek Court Order to Block Trump's Painting of Historic Eisenhower Building

The lawsuit argues that the White House improperly assumed control of the project from the General Services Administration, which oversees the building. The plaintiffs, including Cultural Heritage Partners and the DC Preservation League, contend that the White House should follow established procedures to protect historic places and ensure public input. The administration plans to test paint on the building starting Monday unless the court intervenes.
