Episode Details

A high-stakes legal showdown erupts as the National Trust for Historic Preservation fights to stop the Trump administration’s massive White House ballroom project — a move they say violates federal law and historic preservation. The Supreme Court is now weighing whether the president alone can authorize demolition of a third of the East Wing without congressional approval, especially when the project includes a secret underground military facility already 65% complete.

With deadlines looming, this case could redefine presidential power in renovating iconic government buildings — and whether courts can rein in executive overreach.
