“The Commission of Fine Arts has unanimously approved plans for President Donald Trump’s almost 90,000-square-foot White House ballroom plans, the first hurdle in starting the building project. The commission, whose members were all appointed by Trump, including his executive assistant, Chamberlain Harris, 26. The original architect of the ballroom recused himself from the vote. Trump fired all the previous members in October. But now, the project must win approval from the National Capital Planning Commission, which could vote on March 5.” (02/19/26)
