WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House will share details of President Donald Trump’s planned ballroom at Thursday’s meeting of the National Capital Planning Commission, months after the East Wing was demolished in preparation for the construction.

Will Scharf, a top White House aide whom Trump tapped to head the commission, opened the meeting by noting “passionate comments on both sides” of the ballroom project but adding that public comment wouldn’t be part of Thursday’s session.
