East Wing


Tearing down the East Wing


The White House began demolishing the East Wing for Trump's ballroom project

Demolition crews began tearing down the White House East Wing to make room for Trump's planned ballroom. The administration later confirmed that the entire East Wing would be removed, despite Trump's earlier statement that the ballroom project would not interfere with the existing White House structure. The project later became the subject of litigation over congressional authorization and historic-preservation procedures.
