Summary
Larry Krasner said Tuesday he would keep a ballroom fragment as a paperweight after "we blow it up," adding the demolition would happen in an "official ceremony" in 10 to 15 years.
The remarks came as Krasner attacked Trump's overhaul of a slavery exhibit at George Washington's historic Philadelphia home, where the administration replaced slave-focused panels with broader U.S. history displays under a March executive order.
A federal appeals court recently sided with the Trump administration in that dispute, ruling Philadelphia had no legal right to control content at the federally owned site, though Krasner said the memorial's educational content would endure.
The White House defended the ballroom as part of needed renovations before the nation's 250th anniversary, while the Secret Service said it investigates anything that could be perceived as a threat to protectees.
