A federal judge has ruled that President Donald Trump's name must be removed from the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. The decision also blocks plans to close the venue for renovations. Trump responded by directing a transfer of oversight to Congress.
U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper issued the ruling on Friday. He stated that the center's organic statute makes it clear the venue must be named for President John F. Kennedy, and that only Congress can change the name. The order requires all signage and references to a Trump Kennedy Center to be removed within 14 days.
