(Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration has terminated all six members of an independent federal agency that planned to review White House construction projects, including the new ballroom, according to a report by The Washington Post.

“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,” a presidential personnel office White House staffer wrote on Tuesday in an email to one of the commissioners, which the Post reported it reviewed.

A White House official, who spoke anonymously to the Post, confirmed that all six members had been fired and that new members to the commission will be appointed who are more aligned with Trump’s policies.
