Good — I dug through news coverage, advocacy letters, industry reporting and public records indexes. Short version up front:

What I found: demolition crews did start and largely finish tearing down the East Wing in late-Oct 2025, multiple reputable outlets covered the work, and public interest groups (notably the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization) have formally demanded that the White House produce proof of hazard-abatement compliance. However, I could not find any publicly available EPA/DOEE/OSHA notifications, asbestos/lead abatement plans, air-monitoring/clearance results, transport manifests, or disposal receipts showing the required NESHAP/OSHA/RCRA steps were followed for asbestos and lead.
