> Nine members of the Kennedy family have sued the Trump administration, asking a federal judge to halt construction of a 250ft gilded triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery. They say it would obstruct views of family graves and diminish the memorials, and argue that federal agencies authorized the project without congressional approval.
