Trump Admin's Plans for $500 Million USIP Building May Violate Court Order, Say Former Workers

The State Department is planning to take over a $500 million building that was previously used by the US Institute of Peace (USIP), according to former USIP employees. The move may violate a court order that prohibits the government from interfering with USIP's operations. The former staffers allege that the building may be repurposed for Donald Trump's proposed "Board of Peace," an advisory council that the former president wanted to establish. This plan has raised concerns among the ex-USIP employees, who argue that it could undermine the independence and mission of the institute. The USIP building in question was seized by the government in 2019, and the institute has since been operating out of a different location. The State Department's plans to take over the building have not been officially confirmed, and the legal implications of the move are still being assessed.
