The National Trust for Historic Preservation, the private nonprofit designated to protect historic sites, is suing to stop the construction of the White House ballroom.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Thursday that Americans should expect to receive an additional $1,000 in their tax refund next year.

"No president is legally allowed to tear down portions of the White House without any review whatsoever," said the National Trust for Historic Preservation in its lawsuit.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation filed a federal lawsuit Friday to block President Trump’s construction of a large new ballroom on White House grounds, arguing that he violated at least four laws in bypassing any review process.

Trump, a Republican, already has bypassed the federal government’s usual building practices and historical reviews when he razed the East Wing of the White House. He has more recently fired the initial architects for a ballroom that itself would be nearly twice the size of the White House before East Wing’s demolition.

Other events for the spectacle include weigh-ins at the Lincoln Memorial and autograph signings across the National Mall.
