White House Reportedly Fires Commissioners Expected To Review Ballroom, Arch Construction Projects

Work on President Trump’s gilded ballroom began last week with demolition of the 123-year-old East Wing, sparking backlash amid a shutdown that has furloughed hundreds of thousands. The White House says it will be finished long before Trump’s term ends, funded by Trump and donors Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss and Harold G. Hamm. The National Capital Planning Commission will oversee approval, though Trump may bypass another commission’s review, the Post reported. Separately, an ‘Independence Arch’ to mark the nation’s 250th is planned for next summer; a model shows a stone arch topped by a winged angel and two eagles.
