The White House began demolishing part of the East Wing facade on Monday in preparation for the construction of President Trump's new ballroom. Trump commented on the teardown during an event with LSU baseball athletes in the East Room, saying, "We're building a ballroom. They've wanted a ballroom for 150 years, and I'm giving that honor to this wonderful place." https://cbsn.ws/4hoIAth | CBS News
