Judge Blocks Trump-Backed Kennedy Center Changes
Description
A federal judge has blocked the Kennedy Center from renaming itself after Donald Trump, ruling only Congress can change the name — and ordered all Trump-related signage removed within two weeks. The judge also halted the center’s planned summer closure, calling it poorly planned and damaging to its cultural mission. The dispute stems from a lawsuit by a Democratic board member who accused Trump of pursuing vanity over public interest. Trump now says he’ll work with Congress to transfer ownership if he can reshape the institution’s future — but the center, once a bipartisan cultural beacon, is now caught in a legal and political firestorm.
