Washington, D.C., and Virginia have jointly filed lawsuits to halt the construction of a proposed triumphal arch honoring former President Donald Trump, per The Guardian.

The legal challenge argues that the project violates federal laws prohibiting government endorsement of political figures, CBS News reports.

A judge has opened an inquiry into whether government officials misled the court in a related D.C. golf course case, ABC News notes.
