Federal Judge Blocks Kennedy Center Board's Efforts to Add Trump's Name
A U.S. federal judge has blocked the Kennedy Center board's attempts to add President Donald Trump's name to the performing arts venue, ruling that only Congress can authorize such changes. The board, largely composed of Trump appointees, sought to recognize Trump's role in securing funding for renovations by adding inscriptions and renaming the plaza. The judge cited a 1983 federal law and previous court orders, halting these plans amid ongoing legal disputes and concerns over the center's condition and governance.
