White House Says Viral Video of Object Tossed Out Window Was Result of Regular Maintenance
A video posted online on Monday of a black bag being heaved out of the White House showed maintenance work being done by a contractor, according to a White House official.
The video was originally posted on an Instagram account called Washingtonianprobs and spread widely on social media, prompting jokes about White House security protocol and speculation about what was being thrown out. It shows a person wearing white pants stepping a foot out onto a windowsill on the second floor of the White House and tossing down what appears to be a black plastic bag. Later someone tosses something long and white out the window. The second floor of the White House is where the Presidents private residence is located.
It was a contractor who was doing regular maintenance while the President was gone, the White House official said in a statement in response to questions about the images.

The East Room is located on the State Floor of the White House, which is the first floor of the residence.

I agree, it looks like the stuff came out of the "b" room (bathroom?) window in the sitting room.

I agree. No independent photojournalists are allowed that close, absent WH approval.

I know. It's probably contractors throwing stuff to pick up later. But still.....

Vue Rooftop at the Hotel Washington. Some one got a good pic of the WH from that lounge on Google maps.

Milania making a run for it? Or JD Sofaphilia being given the "Russian" treatment for being ready to fill TACO's shoes.
