The Trump administration is replacing all six members of the Commission of Fine Arts, which reviews historical building projects, including the new ballroom at the White House.

“[The administration is] preparing to appoint a new slate of members to the commission that are more aligned with President [Donald] Trump’s America First Policies,” reads an Oct. 29 White House statement emailed to The Epoch Times.
