White House fires members of commission that is to weigh in on Trump’s construction projects

The White House fired all six members of the Commission of Fine Arts, appointed by former President Joe Biden, and plans to install appointees aligned with President Donald Trump’s America First policies, officials said. The shake-up comes as Trump pursues privately funded projects: a $300 million White House ballroom after East Wing demolition and a Paris-style arch near Arlington National Cemetery. Though the CFA’s role is advisory, its next meeting is uncertain amid the shutdown. Trump-appointed leaders at the National Capital Planning Commission have signaled support, while a Senate panel will discuss preservation rules Wednesday.
