After a fight over Trump's name on the Kennedy Center, judge demands details [View all]
WASHINGTON – The federal judge who ordered President Donald Trump's name removed from the Kennedy Center has asked the administration to report by June 19 on plans for the Kennedy Center to remain open with public events during a renovation project.
The administration had announced the center would close July 4 for two years for $250 million in renovations. But in addition to removing Trump's name from the iconic arts center, U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper blocked the administration's plan to "wind-down" or "close" programming activities entirely.
Cooper asked for plans "for public access and ongoing programming, activities, and operations after July 5, 2026."
The court fight marked the latest setback in Trump's plans to overhaul the city with projects such as a new White House ballroom, a triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery and renovations to the Reflecting Pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial.
