Trump-Backed Arts Panel Clears White House Ballroom Plan
TL;DR Summary
A Commission of Fine Arts, stacked with Trump allies, unanimously approved a $400 million White House ballroom after skipping the usual review steps. The move drew sharp opposition from a longtime panel secretary and public comments, and the project still awaits approval from the National Capital Planning Commission and a federal judge’s ruling as Trump continues to appoint allies to speed construction.
