The committee charged with reviewing the plans for the Arch is the Commission of Fine Arts, a group President Trump has filled with his appointees.

The submitted plans from the Harrison design firm show a structure very similar to the model that Trump showed off at a fundraising dinner at the White House last October.

The proposed arch bears a striking resemblance to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and is topped with two eagles and a winged crowned figure reminiscent of the Statue of Liberty.

On one side, the words One Nation Under God appear with the phrase With Liberty and Justice for All on the other.

The structure would be more than twice the height of the nearby Lincoln Memorial.
