Analysis Summary
The Washington Post reports that Trump knew in advance he would demolish the East Wing and kept it secret from the public. Trump did conceal his final demolition decision—he promised in July to preserve the building, then tore it down in October without warning. However, I couldn't verify the specific claim about court documents showing he knew two months in advance because the linked article wasn't fully accessible. The headline focuses on advance knowledge, but the linked story appears to be about the secret fundraising contract, not the demolition timeline.
