Kennedy family asks federal judge to block Trump's proposed memorial arch

On this Veterans Day, we start with one of the country's most prominent political families joining the legal pushback against President Trump's proposed Triumphal Arch. Members of the Kennedy family joining lawsuits to stop the 250-foot monument. Fox 5's Tom Fitzgerald live at the Memorial Bridge tonight, right near where the president spent part of this Veterans Day. And Fitz, what's the Kennedy family's argument? Good evening. In a legal filing, the Kennedy family members say the proposed arch would in fact block the views of the grave of President John F. Kennedy and the thousands of veterans who were buried at Arlington National Cemetery. And this legal challenge comes as President Trump himself was at Arlington today for Veterans Day ceremonies. Now, the president says that his arch is meant to honor America's 250th birthday, but critics... Well, they say it is to honor himself. Nine members of the Kennedy family, not including the health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., are included in this filing. Now, it is an effort to join lawsuits previously filed by D.C., Virginia, and Veterans Group. Meanwhile, up in Congress, Democrats tell Fox 5 that once they take the majority, they will move to block any funding for the Arch. I was very glad that they have weighed in. A lot of this is emotional. This is the emotional empathy that people feel for the tens of thousands that are buried there. The Golden Arch is not a project of the United States because the people haven't passed it. And so it would be unfathomable to me that he would get away with doing that. Meanwhile, the White House itself is pushing back on this, calling the Kennedy family involvement, quote, unfortunate. Now, the president made the case himself today for the arch at the Veterans Day ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery. Meanwhile, some supporters of the project tell Fox 5 they believe the opposition to the arch is actually rooted in opposition to the president. They feel the arch would honor veterans. And soon we're going to dedicate a magnificent, triumphal arch to our veterans. And that's in honor of our great veterans and our great militaries. They've been waiting for it for 200 years. They try to stop him on everything and anything. He could say, I'm going to plant a tree in a forest. And they'd say, oh, no, you can't do that. Why not have a nice arch? I don't know. I like the arch. No comment on anything else. Last week, you may remember, the National Capital Planning Commission approved the Triumphal Arch project. However, almost immediately, a federal judge slapped a restraining order on the project. That remains in effect for now. We're live at the Memorial Bridge tonight. Send it back in to Marina and Jim.
