Protesters gathered outside a planning commission meeting in Washington D.C. over a proposed White House expansion project.

The demonstration took place as the National Capital Planning Commission reviewed plans for a new ballroom in the East Wing of the White House.

The project is associated with Donald Trump and has sparked public debate.

The Commission delayed its vote to allow for further consideration following significant public input.

The development also comes days after a federal judge ordered a halt to construction.

Opponents of the project have raised concerns about its impact on historic preservation and public interest.

Supporters, however, argue it would enhance the functionality of the White House for official events.

The outcome of the Commission’s decision is expected to shape the future of the controversial project.
