US Appeals Court Denies Trump's Request to Reinstate Name on Kennedy Center

US Appeals Court Denies Trump's Request to Reinstate Name on Kennedy CenterPreviousNext

A US appeals court rejected former President Donald Trump's request to restore his name on the Kennedy Center facade while contesting its removal. The name was removed last month following a ruling by District Judge Christopher Cooper, who stated only Congress can rename the venue. The court found no evidence of irreparable or financial harm from the removal. Trump had previously renamed the center after himself, prompting artist cancellations. The area remains covered pending further board explanation.
