=== What the public record shows ===
* Reporters and photographers documented active demolition of the East Wing (images and eyewitness reporting). The Washington Post<ref>{{cite web|title=The Washington Post|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/10/21/white-house-continues-east-wing-demolition-amid-cries-trump-overreach/|publisher=The Washington Post|date=2025-10-21|access-date=2025-11-20}}</ref>
* Preservation, construction and asbestos-safety groups have publicly demanded records and transparency (letters asking for pre-demolition surveys, abatement plans, air monitoring and manifests). The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) sent a formal letter requesting the records. asbestosdiseaseawareness.org<ref>{{cite web|title=asbestosdiseaseawareness.org|url=https://www.asbestosdiseaseawareness.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/2025-ADAO-White-House-Letter.pdf|publisher=asbestosdiseaseawareness.org|access-date=2025-11-20}}</ref>
* Industry press and construction publications flagged the speed and opacity of the project and noted a lack of posted federal procurement / environmental filings in public databases. Engineering News-Record<ref>{{cite web|title=Engineering News-Record|url=https://www.enr.com/articles/61731-white-house-east-wing-razed-for-300m-ballroom|publisher=Engineering News-Record|access-date=2025-11-20}}</ref>
* I found no publicly posted EPA NESHAP demolition notifications, DOEE/DC permitting documents, OSHA enforcement/inspection notices, or hazardous-waste manifests tied to this demolition in the sources I searched. (That absence is why advocacy groups are demanding the records.) asbestosdiseaseawareness.org<ref>{{cite web|title=asbestosdiseaseawareness.org|url=https://www.asbestosdiseaseawareness.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/2025-ADAO-White-House-Letter.pdf|publisher=asbestosdiseaseawareness.org|access-date=2025-11-20}}</ref>

Bottom line: media + NGO evidence shows demolition occurred and that groups have asked for documentation — but I could not locate the legally relevant compliance records in public sources. That’s not proof of a violation, only proof that the usual proof of compliance has not been published or publicized yet.
