The US Institute of Peace has filed an emergency motion seeking to block the carving of President Donald Trump's name into the facade of its Washington D.C. headquarters. The urgent filing aims to prevent the engraving from proceeding.
A judge has been asked to intervene in the matter. This action follows reports suggesting a pattern of President Trump seeking to place his name on historic Washington buildings, with comparisons drawn to previous efforts concerning the Kennedy Center.
Former employees of the Institute of Peace had reportedly warned of a potential push to engrave the President's name on the building. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
