President Donald Trump has hired a new architect for the White House ballroom amid disputes between the president and his architect originally contracted to complete the project, several sources have told CNN.
The move comes after the $300 million project's original architect reportedly had disagreements with Trump, who rejected criticism over the project's financing, as well as its effects on the presidential residence.
President Trump has replaced the architect for his controversial ballroom project. Washington Post reporter Jonathan Edwards explains what's behind this decision.
The White House did not specify why architects are being swapped on the project. The Washington Post reported that James McCrery and Trump clashed over the scope of the project and that McCrery’s small firm wasn’t able to meet deadlines in the large-scale project.
