The Treasury Department instructed employees not to share photos of the demolition of parts of the White House’s East Wing after images of construction equipment dismantling the facade of the building went viral online

The Treasury Department has advised its employees against sharing photos of the ongoing demolition of parts of the White House's East Wing, following the viral spread of images showing construction equipment at work. This construction is part of President Trump's $250 million project to build a new ballroom, and with the Treasury's headquarters located nearby, employees have a unique view of the developments. This situation highlights the intersection of government operations and public interest, especially as renovations at such a historic site attract significant attention.
