Judge Again Bars Kennedy Center Board From Restoring Trump's Name to Building

A federal judge has issued a ruling preventing the Kennedy Center's board of trustees from restoring President Donald Trump's name to the Washington, D.C. performing arts venue, CNBC reported.

According to CNBC, the decision comes four months after the same judge had already ordered that the Kennedy Center could not be renamed to include Trump's name, suggesting the board had made a subsequent attempt to reinstate it.

The report did not specify the judge's identity, the court in which the case was filed, or the detailed legal reasoning behind the latest ruling. CNBC's report indicates that the matter has now been addressed twice by the same judge over a span of roughly four months.

The Kennedy Center, formally known as the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, has been the subject of political attention since earlier changes were made to its leadership and governance structure. CNBC's report does not provide further detail on the board's rationale for seeking to add Trump's name or on any response from the White House or the Kennedy Center itself.
