Listening Devices Found in Oval Office—President’s Desk Removed for Security Scan

In a shocking revelation that has sent ripples through Washington, sources within the White House have confirmed that the Oval Office—including the historic Resolute Desk—was subjected to a high-level security sweep following suspicions of covert surveillance.

The sweep reportedly uncovered sophisticated listening devices, leading to the immediate removal of the President’s desk for a comprehensive off-site scan.

A senior official, speaking anonymously, revealed that the discovery followed routine electronic countermeasures that detected unusual signals. “The anomalies were subtle but consistent—enough to trigger a full investigation,” the source said. “We couldn’t risk compromising the integrity of the President’s workspace.”

Specialized teams using cutting-edge radiofrequency detection technology were dispatched, and initial findings allegedly pointed to concealed audio surveillance devices hidden within the office.

The Resolute Desk, gifted by Queen Victoria in 1880, was transported to a secure, undisclosed location for thorough inspection by counterintelligence and forensic tech experts. Early reports suggest at least one miniature transmitter—small enough to evade standard detection—may have been embedded within the desk’s structure. Official confirmation of this discovery is still pending.

White House spokesperson Emily Harrow declined to provide specifics but confirmed that “enhanced security measures” had been put into effect. “The administration takes all potential threats to national security seriously,” Harrow stated at a press.

The Deep State will not go down without a fight.

Resolute Desk being removed for "cleaning"

So that's what they're calling it, now ...

As an aside, it should have been cleaned after the Clinton regime ... for different reasons.

Way more likely this is an inside CIA/FBI job than a foreign actor.

,,, there's been so many shady people in that office up to the last month or so. There's even been conversations that made Monica's jaw drop.

This is what I heard about why that huge desk was temporarily removed . I could just see Elon standing there, watching his little boy soil public property , apparently oblivious to how upset that was making the President.

I am sure Elon's son is potty trained.

Very few here will be absolute fans of the James Coburn movies Our Man Flint (1966) and In Like Flint (1967). Secret agent.

The Chief of the US secret intelligence group, played by Lee J. Cobb bites on his pencil at his desk and gets a shock. He breaks it apart and sees a miniature spy microphone and a tiny sending radio inside. He knows every secret has been overheard by the enemies.

(One film had to do with some scientists who think climate change is coming and they want to take over the leadership from all governments by causing it deliberately with floods and fires. What a silly idea.)

Damn, just damn.

Thought the booger story didn't make any sense. I didn't see him wipe the desk. And an alcohol wipe would have been sufficient.

So was it in the desk when they brought it in.

I'd sweep the whole damn place every day. And hope it's not the sweeper.

I liked his movies- why would not many be fans of his?

They better dismantle the entire office and their personal spaces.

These were the ones they wanted them to find. There are still more.
