Virginia and Washington, D.C. have jointly filed lawsuits seeking to halt the construction of a proposed Donald Trump-style arch in the nation's capital, per The Guardian.

The legal challenge argues that the project violates federal laws governing the use of public lands and government property, with officials citing concerns over potential constitutional violations.

Meanwhile, a judge has announced plans to investigate government officials involved in the DC golf course case, as reported by ABC News; this development adds pressure to the ongoing political tensions in the city.

The Pentagon also revealed that it plans to keep National Guard troops stationed in Washington, D.C. through 2029, according to ABC News, highlighting continued security concerns.
