TRUMP REVAMPS WHITE HOUSE HELIPAD, THEN TEARS IT UP

On Wednesday, construction crews at the White House removed a granite seal that was slated to serve as the landing spot for Marine One, as President Trump’s requested changes to the new helipad moved forward.

According to The Hill News, the granite seal was demolished using jackhammers; the Associated Press reports the workers performed the removal but says it is unclear why the seal was taken down. The demolition occurs amid a restart of construction on a redesigned helipad, part of a broader effort to modernize the facility.

The White House has been renovating its helipad facilities to meet contemporary security and operational standards, a project that has experienced delays and design changes since the Trump administration.

• The reason for the removal remains undisclosed, as reported by The Hill News and the Associated Press.
