This week, construction crews knocked down the East Wing of the White House to make way for the construction of a 90,000-square-foot ballroom. This demolition surprised many in D.C., as President Donald Trump had previously said his proposed addition would not significantly alter the existing structure. Host Colby Itkowitz speaks with White House reporter Dan Diamond and Dan Merica, the co-anchor of the Early Brief newsletter, about why this construction is unlikely to be derailed and what we know about the ballroom plans. And, they discuss how past comments by Maine Senate hopeful Graham Platner and onetime Trump nominee Paul Ingrassia have come back to haunt them. Today’s show was produced by Laura Benshoff and Josh Carroll. It was edited by Reena Flores and mixed by Sean Carter. Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

The East Wing is gone.
It's like a movie.
Pretty close.
It's crazy.
White House down.
It is.
It is cinematic.
Someone was making the point in the movies when the White House gets destroyed,
it's like, well, it's usually not the East Wing.
It's like the main residence.
Either way, when the White House gets destroyed, it's like the bad thing in the movie.
It's the climax.
The bad guys did it.
It's usually not the president.
From the newsroom of the Washington Post, this is Post Report's Weekly Politics Roundtable.
