Judge Orders Advance Notice on Any Kennedy Center Demolition Plan Amid Trump Naming Dispute
A federal judge has ruled that President Trump's name cannot be placed on the Kennedy Center without congressional authorization, while also ordering that officials provide advance notice before any move to demolish the building, according to CNBC.
A federal judge has ruled that President Donald Trump's name cannot be affixed to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts without authorization from Congress, according to a report by CNBC.
The ruling comes amid renewed attention to the Kennedy Center after a photo attributed to Trump appeared to reference the possibility of demolishing the historic Washington, D.C. venue, CNBC reported.
As part of the same court order, the judge directed that advance notice must be given before any action is taken to knock down the building, the report said.
The Kennedy Center, which serves as the national cultural center and a living memorial to former President John F. Kennedy, has been the subject of ongoing disputes over its governance and future under the current administration, according to CNBC.
CNBC did not immediately provide additional details on the timeline of the court proceedings or the specific legal basis cited by the judge in the ruling.
