The legal arm of Congress wrote an opinion last year
that Congress does have the authority to give D.C. a
voting representative.  The opinion was prepared for a
Republican Congressman Virginia, Tom Davis.  The
author was a very distinguished law professor. Congressman Davis has a bill giving D.C. a voting
member in the US House, and also enlarging the size of
the House so that Utah would also get a new seat. Since everyone presumes DC would elect a Democrat, and
Utah would elect a Republican, Congressman Davis felt
this was politically feasible.  However, his bill
hasn't advanced, as far as I know.
