Photos Appear To Show East Wing Included White House Movie Theater

Photos taken Thursday appeared to show the Trump administration razing the White House's East Wing and its East Colonnade, home to the long-used Family Theater, as heavy equipment edged near the Executive Mansion. The work is clearing space for a privately funded, $300 million ballroom backed by corporate donors including Comcast and Amazon, despite no public review. Critics, including the National Trust for Historic Preservation, urged a halt, noting the ballroom's size. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said construction plans evolve and urged, "Trust the process." Trump has suggested rebuilding the colonnade and cutting new access from the East Room.
