Jim, being the Cracker-Jack journo that he is, confirmed it with the WHHA himself after it was his out-of-context tweets yesterday that had everyone accusing Trump staffers of looting the building:

Bit more on this… Folks at the WH Historical Association tell me they've been assured by the chief usher and curator for WH that they are accounting for the Lincoln bust and every item in the collection. https://t.co/qeFK0Uniy2

And with Acosta taking on weekend anchor duties, could this be our last “Dear Diary” post? The end of an era!
