An advocacy group has sued the Trump administration over concerns the president’s sudden demolition of the White House East Wing exposed workers and the public to cancer-causing building materials.
President Donald Trump’s decision to secretly raze the East Wing to make way for his $400 million ballroom project quickly sparked concerns about asbestos, which was widely used in construction projects when the East Wing was built in 1902 and renovated in 1942.
But despite efforts from lawmakers, news organizations, and non-profits, the administration has refused to say what steps, if any, were taken to protect construction workers, staff, visitors, and passersby, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday by the non-profit Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization.
