Judge blocks Kennedy Center board from putting Trump's name on plaza, building
- On Tuesday, District Judge Christopher Cooper blocked the Kennedy Center board from inscribing President Donald Trump's name on the main building, ruling that such memorials require Congressional approval.
- In May, Cooper declared the board's earlier renaming attempts unlawful, establishing that only Congress holds the power to change the facility's official designation.
- The board claimed that recognizing Trump is necessary to secure his fiscal oversight and raise $100 million, even though Congress has already appropriated $257 million for renovations.
- Following a ceiling collapse reported by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, the board shifted Tuesday's agenda to focus exclusively on the facility's "necessary closure" rather than additional Trump tributes.
- The proposed closure faces resistance from Rep. Joyce Beatty's team, with lawyer Norm Eisen calling the plan "foolishness" and vowing to contest the board's efforts.
