Kennedy Center to add Trump's name, push ahead with two-year renovation amid legal clash

The Kennedy Center board voted to add President Donald Trump’s name to the building’s façade and move forward with a two-year closure for major renovations, despite a federal judge’s ruling that the earlier lettering was added illegally and blocked the closure. Rep. Joyce Beatty, a trustee, said the move appears to circumvent the court’s order as the center faces aging infrastructure and ongoing political contention.
