The proposed giant structure along the Potomac River near Arlington National Cemetery is part of Trump's drive to put his personal stamp on the US capital.
In a Wednesday court filing, the Trump administration said "construction could commence as early as Nov 5," the same day the commission aligned with Trump is set to vote on approving the project's proposed site and building plans.
