White House East Wing Demolished for Trump’s New Ballroom, Satellite Images Reveal

Fresh satellite images have captured the extensive demolition work underway at the White House. The East Wing has been completely leveled to prepare for the construction of a new, multi-million dollar ballroom intended for President Trump.

Visual evidence that emerged earlier this week shows the East Wing’s facade being dismantled. The most recent imagery confirms that this section of the iconic building has now been entirely demolished.

Jake Horton from BBC Verify has been closely examining the satellite photos and offers an analysis of the demolition’s scope and what construction plans can be expected going forward.
