Amid backlash over partial demolition of East Wing, White House reportedly intends to send blueprints
The White House has not submitted plans for Donald Trump’s new ballroom to the federal agency that oversees construction of federal buildings, though demolition is already under way.
On Tuesday, the White House told Reuters it intended to send plans to the National Capital Planning Commission, an agency that typically approves and monitors construction on federal buildings. Demolition began earlier this week, with reporters taking video of a backhoe ripping out chunks of the White House’s exterior.
The New York Times reported Wednesday, citing a senior administration official, that the ballroom plans will mean the demolition of the entire East Wing.
demolishing the entire east wing was the plan all along.
Why?
East wing has the 1st ladies office and they both look like they’ve had enough of each other.
