14 hours agoWhite House hasn't filed plans for Trump's new ballroom despite demolition under way
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.

19 hours agoTrump is adding a ballroom to the East Wing. Photos from the 1950s show the last major White House renovation.
