The Trump administration is facing fresh allegations in federal court after preservation advocates claimed that debris from the demolition of the White House East Wing was dumped at a historic public golf course in Washington, D.C., and contains potentially hazardous contaminants including arsenic, lead and petroleum-related pollutants.
According to a new court filing highlighted by the Associated Press, attorneys for the D.C. The Preservation League argues that the administration has deposited substantially more than 30,000 cubic yards of debris at East Potomac Golf Links, a public course located along the Potomac River. The filing cites testing results that allegedly found "concerning levels of arsenic, hydrocarbons, and other dangerous pollutants, including lead."
