Lawyers for the D.C. Preservation League warned that the East Potomac property would be "razed" by the Trump administration before anyone could stop it, citing the rapid demolition of the White House's East Wing.

A federal judge warned the administration that it was not to proceed with renovations on East Potomac before getting proper approvals and notifying her first.

"I'm going to say this one more time, and I do not want a situation where something has happened and then I'm being told by the government or by a foundation or by a bulldozing company that it's too late to do anything about it," U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes said. "If anything like that happens ... there are going to be serious consequences."
