The National Trust for Historic Preservation has launched a legal defence fund as it battles President Donald Trump over a proposed White House ballroom and other projects, ABC News US reported. The organisation has been at the forefront of efforts to halt Trump’s large ballroom project at the White House. The new fund is intended to support its legal response, although the available material does not describe the cases involved.

The report did not state how much money the fund has raised, who is contributing to it or which courts could hear the organisation’s challenge. It also did not provide a timetable for the legal proceedings. No response from Trump or the White House was included in the available source material.

The report likewise did not detail the other projects being contested by the preservation group. The fund’s launch signals that the organisation plans to continue opposing the ballroom and related developments through legal means. Further information about the arguments, claimed preservation concerns or requested remedies was not provided.
