- Court records show Trump directed $22,000,000 toward construction and state dinners will no longer require South Lawn tents or force VIPs to use porta-potties.
- Preservationists `express horror` that plans bypassed review, and the demolition erased a storied 42-seat East Wing theater, the Post said.
