It’s called the Library of Congress.
But Trump claims it’s his.
May 31, 2025
The Trump White House has a new
target in its campaign to expand
executive power: the Library of
Congress. Never mind the name —
administration lawyers are now
arguing that the main research
library of the legislative branch
doesn’t actually belong to Congress
at all.
A legal push to claim the Library
as executive turf isn’t a one-off.
It’s the latest move in a broader
effort by President Donald Trump
and his administration to erase
the traditional lines that separate
the branches of government.
