JUST IN: Federal Prosecutors Reveal ACECO Demolition Workers Allegedly Ordered by Donald Trump to ‘Rush the Job’ During White House East Wing Demolition Before Inspectors Arrived
Federal prosecutors have disclosed new allegations in the ongoing investigation surrounding the controversial demolition of the White House East Wing, claiming that workers from ACECO Engineering & Construction were instructed by former President Donald Trump to “rush the job” before federal inspectors could arrive on-site.
According to statements included in a recent court filing, several ACECO workers reported that they were pressured to accelerate demolition tasks under directives they believed came directly from Trump or his senior aides.
Prosecutors say the alleged rush order may have bypassed critical safety protocols and violated multiple federal preservation and construction regulations.
Sources close to the investigation say the directive was reportedly issued during a period of growing scrutiny over the $2 billion reconstruction project, which has already been tied to multiple lawsuits, unpaid contractor fees, and concerns about the removal of historically protected materials.
Trump’s legal team swiftly dismissed the claims as “fabricated, politically motivated fiction,” insisting that the former president had no role in day-to-day construction decisions and accusing federal officials of orchestrating a “targeted smear campaign.”
ACECO has not issued a formal comment, though individuals familiar with the company say internal communications are now being reviewed in response to subpoenas.
Prosecutors emphasized that the investigation is ongoing, with additional witness interviews expected in the coming weeks as they determine whether criminal charges related to safety violations, destruction of protected property, or obstruction of oversight may follow.
