Analysis Summary
Trump's Justice Department is using the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting on Saturday to pressure the National Trust for Historic Preservation to drop its lawsuit blocking the $400 million White House ballroom project. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate gave the group until Monday morning to dismiss the case, citing the shooting as a security justification. This is a calculated opportunistic move โ the administration has been fighting this lawsuit for months, and a federal judge previously called the security argument "incredible, if not disingenuous."
