The Post obtained 6 cost estimates for the entire #EastWing project, dated from July 2025 to March of this year, that show an increasing price tag as well as the expected sources of funding. Those records, as well as invoices & correspondence, provide the clearest accounting yet of #Trump’s most ambitious construction project in the nation’s capital. The project is deeply unpopular with most Americans, & even some Republican lawmakers have balked at funding it.
Multiple project summaries provided to the White House by Clark Construction show that internal cost estimates have been significantly higher than admin officials have acknowledged in public comments or court filings. They also show that the work was projected to rely heavily on taxpayer dollars from the moment it was announced.
