Satellite imagery has revealed the progression of demolition work at the White House. A section of the East Wing has been completely demolished, a development associated with plans for a multi-million dollar ballroom.
New satellite imagery has provided an updated view of demolition work at the White House. Earlier pictures, which emerged on Monday, showed the facade of the East Wing being dismantled. Subsequent imagery indicates that this specific section of the White House has now been fully demolished.
BBC Verify's Jake Horton has examined the available images to assess the extent of the demolition and to anticipate future construction plans. The demolition is occurring to make way for a planned multi-million dollar ballroom, which is associated with President Trump.
