Trump Fires Fine Arts Commission Members

The White House dismissed all six members of the Commission of Fine Arts by email, according to a source, removing Biden-appointed advisers as President Donald Trump pursues sweeping aesthetic changes in Washington. The move comes amid a planned East Wing overhaul featuring a proposed 90,000‑square‑foot ballroom, estimated by Trump at about $300 million and funded by himself and donors. Officials say the arts panel may lack jurisdiction over the project until vertical construction begins. Trump has also reshaped the National Capital Planning Commission. Commission staff are furloughed during the government shutdown. The Washington Post first reported the firings.
