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.

No longer in service, she was sent to the breakers dock for salvage.Queen Victoria ordered that a desk be made from her best timbers. This was the gift that she sent to the White House.
