JUST IN: Supreme Court Officially Summons President Donald Trump After He Refuses to Answer Federal Inquiries and Faces Multiple Lawsuits — Including a $10 Billion Case Over the Illegal Demolition of the White House East Wing
In a stunning and unprecedented development, the U.S. Supreme Court has officially issued a summons to former President Donald Trump after months of refusal to comply with federal inquiries and mounting legal battles tied to his time both in and out of office.
According to court officials, the summons comes as Trump faces a growing list of lawsuits — the most significant being a staggering $10 billion claim filed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, accusing him of authorizing the illegal demolition of key structural elements of the White House East Wing during what the administration once described as “urgent modifications.”
The National Trust alleges that the demolition, conducted without mandatory federal approvals or preservation review, resulted in the destruction of historically protected architecture, artifacts, and structural components dating back more than a century.
Legal experts call the lawsuit one of the largest historic-preservation claims in U.S. history.
Federal investigators have reportedly attempted for weeks to obtain Trump’s testimony and documentation related to the matter, but sources say he repeatedly declined to cooperate — prompting the Supreme Court to intervene directly.
A senior judiciary aide described the summons as a “last-resort measure,” noting that Trump’s continued refusal to provide answers had caused “significant obstruction to multiple ongoing federal reviews.”
The former president’s legal team blasted the move, calling the summons “political theater,” while critics argue this is the inevitable result of Trump’s pattern of evading oversight.
The Supreme Court has not yet announced the date Trump must appear, but officials confirm the matter will be handled on an expedited schedule given the magnitude of the allegations and the federal funds reportedly involved in the unauthorized construction.
