All six members of the independent Commission of Fine Arts were reportedly dismissed Tuesday
Donald Trump has fired all six members of an independent federal agency responsible for reviewing his controversial White House ballroom and planned ‘Arc de Trump’ in Washington DC, according to reports.
The Washington Post reported that all members of the Commission of Fine Arts were dismissed on Tuesday.
“On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as a member of the Commission of Fine Arts is terminated, effective immediately,” read an email sent to one of the commissioners, which was obtained by the Post.
A White House official told NBC that the White House is “preparing to appoint a new slate of members to the commission that are more aligned with President Trump’s America First Policies”.
