Reporter: The president had initially said that this project wouldn't interfere with or touch the current structure. Leavitt: If you look at the renderings, it's very clear the east wing was going to be modernized. Reporter: But modernizing and tearing down are two different things.

Per usual, Trump has lied about every aspect of this. He now says it'll cost 50% more than when he announced it. He now says it'll be much bigger than originally planned. He said he wouldn't touch the East Wing, and he's now demolishing it. He said he would accept input from US agencies, but hasn't.

Donald Trump's demolition of the East Wing is perfect symbolism: This is a wrecking ball presidency.
