Judge Blocks Plan to Restore Trump's Name to Kennedy Center Building
A federal judge ruled the Kennedy Center's board cannot add former President Trump's name to the building without congressional approval, according to NPR News.
A federal judge has blocked a plan by the Kennedy Center's board to place former President Donald Trump's name on the performing arts center's building in Washington, D.C., NPR News reported.
According to the report, the judge ruled that any change to the center's name or the signage on its building requires approval from Congress, and that the board did not have the authority to make such a change on its own.
The Kennedy Center, formally known as the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, was established by Congress and named in honor of the late president. NPR News did not specify additional details of the ruling or the reasoning behind the board's proposal to add Trump's name.
NPR News reported that the ruling halts, at least for now, efforts to change the exterior signage of the building to reflect Trump's name.
Further details about the case, including who brought the legal challenge and the timeline for any potential appeal, were not immediately available in the source report.
