    White House doesn't know what happened to Lincoln bust

    White House officials don’t know what happened to a bust of Abraham Lincoln spotted being removed from the West Wing on Thursday, as departing staffers were seen taking home mementos of their time working at America’s most famous address.

    The moment was captured by C-Span, which showed a Marine guard opening the door as three people left the building, one carrying what appeared to be a bronze bust of the 16th president.

    With staffers spotted taking home framed certificates, photographs, and even what appeared to be a stuffed pheasant, it sparked immediate concerns that someone had gone too far in finding a keepsake.

    The White House referred inquiries about its destination to the General Services Administration, which is responsible for running federal offices. A spokeswoman for the GSA said it was not involved and referred inquiries back to the White House.



    But important items in the White House Collection generally stay on site unless they are due for a cleaning or are moved temporarily during renovations.

    A bronze bust of Lincoln, by the American sculptor Gutzon Borglum, has a prime spot atop a stone pillar in the East Garden Room, where it can be seen by visitors entering the East Wing.




    And officials were seen carrying souvenirs home. One man was photographed with framed certificates, and another woman loaded a pheasant into a car.

    A day earlier, trade adviser Peter Navarro was spotted with a photograph of President Trump’s summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

    I hope that's a duplicate and not the original one from the White House. Also, there's historical furniture from Presidents long before JFK...going all the way back to Lincoln.

    Hopefully the Trump administration didn't run off with that too.

    Then again, maybe they did take it all and plan to setup a new White House. :rolleyes:

    I went around in circles with many here at ET that laughed / criticized my statements about United States troops will be deployed to ensure the elections and inauguration will be managed properly because I knew Trump could not (will not) do it if he had lost the U.S. elections.

    His rhetoric was just too dangerous for Democracy, military and law enforcement.

    Hopefully the military and law enforcement can protect the Capitols of the individual states along with the United States Capitol.

    Didn't Bill and Hillary Clinton actually, take things from the Whitehouse? President Donald Trump is a billionaire and probably, has most of anything he needs. We are supposed to believe ET trolls spreading their lies?

  9. Front of the Capitol Building below.

    But when the lefterrhoids occupied eight blocks in Seattle, it was called "A Summer of Love."
