Judge questions why Kennedy Center is moving so quickly to return Trump’s name to building
The judge questioned whether the center can move ahead with inscriptions while an appeal is pending and lawyers warned the venue could need demolition without fundraising.
- On Thursday, administration lawyers argued before U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper that the Kennedy Center could face demolition if blocked from raising renovation funds through presidential recognition.
- The Trump-aligned board voted earlier this month to rename the venue 'The Donald J. Trump and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts,' seeking to secure $100 million in endowment funding.
- Attorneys for Rep. Joyce Beatty fired back at the demolition threat, writing that the administration's actions represent 'a breathtaking assault on the rule of law' while defending the institution's historic integrity.
- Judge Cooper expressed skepticism about the board's timeline, while Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick attended the hearing and told reporters, 'If you do nothing, bad things happen.'
- Rory Kennedy, niece of former President John F. Kennedy, is raising questions about what President Donald Trump may be 'hiding' through his efforts to close, renovate, and potentially demolish the center.
