BREAKING: Ethics Watchdogs File Corruption Complaints Over East Wing Demolition Funding After Trump Demands MORE Taxpayer Cash for ACECO — Despite Already Collecting $300 Million From Donors… And Investigators Say a Newly Discovered ‘Shadow Ledger’ have Reveal Who REALLY Profited From the Demolition Deal.
Ethics watchdog groups have officially filed multiple corruption complaints after former President Donald Trump reportedly requested additional taxpayer funds for the controversial East Wing demolition project—despite already securing over $300 million in private donor contributions.
The request, directed toward the demolition contractor ACECO, immediately triggered an investigation into whether the project’s financing was intentionally obscured or inflated.
According to sources familiar with the inquiry, investigators have uncovered what they describe as a “shadow ledger” tied to the project’s internal accounting.
Early analysis suggests the ledger may list undisclosed payments, private reimbursements, and unnamed beneficiaries connected to the demolition contract—raising questions about who actually profited from the arrangement and whether donor funds were diverted.
Oversight officials say the discrepancies could indicate a coordinated effort to secure public funds for expenses that were already covered, or potentially to mask financial flows between political allies and contractors.
ACECO has not commented, and Trump’s team has dismissed the allegations as “baseless political attacks,” but investigators say the inquiry is widening.
Several subpoenas are expected in the coming days as officials attempt to trace the money and determine whether the shadow ledger reveals a deliberate scheme or sloppy bookkeeping with multimillion-dollar consequences.
