Federal Judge Orders Removal of Trump's Name from Kennedy Center, Blocks Shutdown Plan
By
Ray Flook
Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
A federal judge handed the Trump Administration two legal defeats regarding the Kennedy Center: ordering the removal of Trump's name from the building (which had been renamed "The Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts") and blocking an attempt to shut down the center for two years. Judge Christopher Cooper ruled that the renaming violated federal law and that the shutdown plan lacked legal authority. Donald Trump responded with a social media rant expressing his displeasure with the rulings.
