Trump says Secret Service wants him to ‘take down’ Oval Office
The president also said he is looking into designating the White House room as a “federal landmark,” potentially preserving his changes.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center on Trump’s claim that the Secret Service wanted the Oval Office torn down, and both frame it around his response to that idea. The Washington Post alone adds that he is looking into designating the White House room as a “federal landmark,” while The Hill alone says he told the Secret Service he would not allow the Oval Office to be demolished and places the remark in response to a question about what he would miss when leaving office.
