East Wing renovation is far more extensive than Trump had let on [View all]

Demolition continued Wednesday at the White House to make way for President Donald Trump's $250 million ballroom, but the renovation is far more extensive than he has let on.

While Trump had said back in July that the ballroom would not "interfere" with the existing building -- would be "near it but not touching it" -- a White House official confirmed to ABC News that the "entirety of the East Wing will be modernized."

The extent of the demolition was first reported by The Washington Post, which published new photographs on Tuesday showing bulldozers razing most of the East Wing -- what had been home to the first lady's office, the White House military office and more.

A higher, seven-foot fence was visible Wednesday around the East Wing site, helping to block the demolition from public view.
