Trump Slams Judge Who Blocked Kennedy Center Plans
Trump said the courts are rigged after rulings blocked his Kennedy Center plans and forced more than $160 million in tariff refunds, officials said.
- On Friday, Washington-based Judge Christopher Cooper ordered President Donald Trump's name removed from the Kennedy Center within 14 days, halting the venue's planned two-year renovation and renaming.
- The Kennedy Center Board of Trustees, appointed by Trump, voted unanimously to rename the facility the 'Trump-Kennedy Center,' but Cooper ruled the board 'overstepped its statutory bounds' by initiating the closure.
- Trump attacked Cooper on Saturday, calling him a 'Radical Left Democrat' and alleging a conflict of interest involving the judge's wife, Amy Jeffress, while declaring Cooper 'should be IMPEACHED.'
- A stalled $400 million White House ballroom expansion has become a parallel flashpoint, with Trump threatening Judge Richard Leon on Sunday that he will be held personally accountable if the project remains blocked.
- Trump indicated he may abandon the Kennedy Center project entirely, declaring he has 'no interest' in continuing what he called a 'hopeless journey into 'NEVER NEVER LAND.'' and instructing Commerce to transfer the landmark back to Congress.
