Democratic lawmaker brings lawsuit challenging move to add Trump’s name to Kennedy Center

Rep. Joyce Beatty alleges the Kennedy Center board exceeded its authority by renaming the center after Trump, challenging a move she calls unlawful and against congressional statute.

  • A Democratic lawmaker sued to challenge the decision to add Trump's name to the Kennedy Center, saying the board improperly muted her during the renaming vote.
  • Congress had designated the Kennedy Center as a national memorial to President John F. Kennedy, and legal experts assert the board lacks authority to rename it.
  • The renaming drew criticism from Kennedy family members, who said it breaks with conventions for presidential memorials and undermines the Center's intended purpose as a living memorial to JFK.
