They're set to review the proposal later this week.
Meanwhile, construction will continue for the White House Ballroom, Trump's other major proposed architectural project, but only temporarily.
Over the weekend, a federal appeals court ruled that construction can move forward until April 14th, while the administration challenges a lower court order that said the project exceeds the president's authority.
And finally, Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy won his second straight green jacket at the Masters Golf Tournament on Sunday, becoming the first back-to-back champion since Tiger Woods did it in 2001 and 2002.
It was a drama-filled weekend after McIlroy let a six-stroke lead slip away on Saturday, leaving the door open for several top players to swoop in and take the title.
He headed into Sunday tied at 11, under par with Cameron Young, before eventually losing the lead for a brief time.
McIlroy rallied on the back nine, finishing at 12 under par, one stroke better than fellow two-time champ Scotty Scheffler.
McIlroy is now the fourth golfer ever to repeat at the Masters, joining some pretty elite company like Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, and of course, Tiger Woods.
The repeat is notable, not only for its rarity, but because not winning over 17 previous attempts at the Masters had been a defining storyline in McElroy's otherwise Hall of Fame career.
Now that he's won two in a row, he said Sunday, quote, I think all of my perseverance at this golf tournament over the years has really started to pay off.
