The Trump administration will not release information on whether it removed or released the carcinogenic compound asbestos during its sudden demolition of the White House’s East Wing as part of President Trump’s planned ballroom project, a lawsuit claims.
The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization filed the suit Wednesday in Washington, D.C., federal court, alleging agencies like the National Park Service, Department of the Interior, OSHA, EPA and the White House have failed to comply with a Freedom of Information Act request about what kind of precautions were taken ahead of the three-day demolition project.
