DC Judge Orders Kennedy Center to Pay Chuck Redd Six-Figure Legal Fees
A DC federal judge ordered the Kennedy Center to pay about $252,000 in legal fees to musician Chuck Redd after dismissing the center’s suit over his cancellation of a Christmas Eve concert prompted by the addition of Trump’s name to the building's façade; the ruling found unlawful retaliation, and the judge noted the event was free and not financially harmed by the cancellation, with the center planning to appeal.
