White House doesn t know what happened to Lincoln bust Print this article
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.
