Trump fires entire design review panel overseeing planned ballroom and arch


President Donald Trump fired all six design review panelists who oversee his planned White House ballroom and triumphal arch, citing differences with the president.

The Commission on Fine Arts was established over 100 years ago to advise the president and other officials on architectural projects in Washington, D.C. Former President Joe Biden appointed all members to four-year terms, with the last term set to expire in 2028.

“On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as a member of the Commission on Fine Arts is terminated, effective immediately,” an email sent to the commissioners, viewed by the Washington Post, said.
