The Kennedy family has filed a lawsuit seeking to halt construction of President Trump's proposed 250-foot arch near Arlington National Cemetery, and on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, Max Kennedy, son of Robert Kennedy Sr., discussed the legal challenge in an interview with NPR's Scott Detrow.
The segment, broadcast on NPR's National desk, focused on the family's effort to stop the project, which would place the structure in the vicinity of the cemetery. The interview aired at 4:05 PM ET, according to NPR.
Max Kennedy is the son of Robert Kennedy Sr., a connection that underscores the family's personal stake in the matter. The lawsuit represents the latest development in the dispute over the arch, which has drawn attention given its proximity to Arlington National Cemetery.
NPR noted in its broadcast that audio of the full interview would be available later in the day. The network also stated that it does not offer or accept money for coverage or interviews, emphasizing that anyone making such an offer or request is not an NPR employee and does not represent NPR.
The legal action, led by members of the Kennedy family, seeks to prevent the construction of the 250-foot arch. Further details about the lawsuit's specific claims were not immediately available in the source material.
