White House ousts four Trump-appointed members of prestigious arts commission
The White House has ousted several members of a prestigious arts commission in the nation’s capital, the latest move in the Biden administration’s purge of Trump-era appointees from government agencies and boards.
The seven-member Commission of Fine Arts — an independent federal agency tasked with advising the President, Congress and government agencies on “matters of design and aesthetics” in the nation’s capital, according to the commission’s website — consisted entirely of commissioners appointed by Trump.
On Monday, four members — including the chairman — were instructed to resign from their positions by the end of the day.
