Jake Tapper said the White House is “not telling us” the truth about Trump after a frazzled Karoline Leavitt finally responded to the Daily Beast’s queries.

"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 argues the White House failed to seek necessary reviews before demolishing the historic East Wing.

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.

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.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation sued the administration Friday in an effort to stop construction of the White House ballroom.

Sweeping taxes on imports have cost the average American household nearly $1,200 since Donald Trump returned to the White House this year, according to calculations by Democrats on Congress’ Joint Economic Committee.
