The Trump administration made several additions to the official White House "Major Events Timeline" on Thursday, including Hunter Biden's drug addiction.

The demolition of the East Wing is underway, but as estimated costs rise, who is footing the bill to build the ballroom?

Under a nearly-60-year-old law, the White House and several other notable buildings are exempt from a key historic preservation rule - though one expert told the BBC that presidents typically follow it anyway. Trump's renovation appears to be the biggest in decades, but the president of the US does have the power to make those changes.

Donald Trump isn't the first president to demolish parts of the White House. Harry Truman oversaw the last major renovation in the 1950s.

The entire East Wing of the White House will be demolished “within days,” according to two Trump administration officials. The demolition marks a significant expansion of the ballroom construction project from what President Trump said earlier this summer.

Donald Trump Jr. says Democrats have "lost the plot" over White House ballroom controversy as critics slam demolition of East Wing for privately funded renovation project.

President Trump had the East Wing of the White House demolished this week, a change of course from previous statements that his massive, privately funded ballroom addition would be near but not touch the structure.
