See donor list for Trump ballroom as White House’s East Wing is destroyed

WASHINGTON — The East Wing of the White House was fully demolished Thursday, a White House official said, as construction pushes forward to build President Donald Trump’s new ballroom.

The project is a significant expansion from what Trump said over the summer.

“It won’t interfere with the current building,” Trump said on July 31. “It’ll be near it, but not touching it, and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of.”

Trump said Wednesday that the project would cost roughly $300 million, paid for by donors, including himself. He has also said it will hold up to 999 people.

It’s the biggest change to the White House exterior since President Franklin D. Roosevelt expanded the East Wing — which traditionally houses the office of the first lady — in 1942.

Trump hosted a dinner in the East Room on Wednesday evening to thank the corporations and individuals who contributed. (Comcast Corp., the parent company of NBCUniversal, is one of the donors.)
