Trump ballroom lawyers say project essential for 'national security'

2. Yeah, remember the evolving story of the object flung out of an East Wing window?

First it couldn't have been real, then it was real but it was not done when the president was at the White House because the sealed windows had to be removed and that was a security risk, and then the entire wing was simply demolished and nobody cared about that as a security risk--at least not until now, when Trump wants to start construction on the new throne room ballroom.

A video posted online on Monday of a black bag being heaved out of a second-story White House window was “probably AI-generated,” President Trump told reporters on Tuesday when asked about it.

Trump added that such a video couldn't be real because "you can't open the windows" in the White House. "They’re all heavily armored and bullet-proof,” he said.

Trump's comments on the viral video came hours after a White House official gave TIME a statement that implied the video’s content was real, and that it showed a a contractor doing “regular maintenance."
