Controversy continues, U.S. media exposed: the remains after the demolition of the White House's East Wing were used as "golf field fillers"

[Global Network Reporter Suo Yanqi] According to a report by CNN on the 24th local time, as the construction of the luxury banquet hall in the east wing of the White House continues to cause controversy, the wreckage waste generated by the demolition project was found dumped in a golf course in Washington, D.C., for filling.

On the afternoon of 24th local time, several trucks drove into the picturesque and historic East Potomac Golf Course in Washington, D.C., dumping filler from the White House. CNN said it observed that four unloading trucks stacked scrap materials at the site in about an hour, and a bulldozer was working on the site. A construction worker, who asked not to be named, confirmed to CNN that the scrap came from the demolished East Wing building.

CNN said the media had contacted East Tomorrow Golf Course, the U.S. National Park Administration and the U.S. Park Police Department for comment.

According to reports, the East Wing of the White House was built in 1902 and the second floor was added in 1942. Currently, the facilities in the East Wing mainly include the "First Lady" office, a small movie theater, and the White House guest entrance. According to AFP, this project is the largest expansion of the White House in more than a century.

U.S. President Trump announced in July this year that he would build a new banquet hall at the White House, saying that the new banquet hall would be "next to but not touching" the original building. After construction started this week, Trump added on October 22 that after consulting with architects, it was found that the entire demolition of the East Wing of the White House was more effective than partial demolition.

Several U.S. media outlets cited satellite images released on October 23 that the Eastern Wing of the White House has been completely demolished, and where it was originally located is now a ruin. The demolition of the Eastern Wing of the White House has been criticized by historical relics conservation organizations and also criticized by the Democrats. Democratic Senator Jeff Merkel said in a statement on October 22 in the Senate that evidence showed that Trump had demolished a symbol of the United States and established another symbol, "a symbol of authority, about serving the wealthy government".
