The lawsuit filed Thursday accuses Trump’s “Independence Arch” of being unlawful with its planned position in the traffic circle in front of the historic military cemetery.
At 250 feet tall, the statue would be “more than double the size of the Lincoln Memorial and the equivalent of a twenty-five-story office building,” states the suit, which was filed on behalf of the veterans and historian by the government watchdog group Public Citizen.
“Its location on Memorial Circle would situate the monument on an axis between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery, obstructing a line of sight that was designed to represent the unification of the Nation following the Civil War and that has existed for nearly a century,” it goes on.
