Federal Judge Questions Trump Administration's 'National Security' Claim for Washington Arch Project

A U.S. federal judge on Friday pushed back against the Trump administration's assertion that President Donald Trump's proposed 250-foot triumphal arch in Washington, D.C., is necessary for national security. District Judge Tanya Chutkan noted that this was the first time the government had presented a national security aspect to the case, which was brought by Vietnam War veterans seeking to halt the arch's construction.
