Kennedy Center board votes to put Trump name on facade despite court order
President Donald Trump's name was removed from the Washington, D.C., performing arts center in June as the result of a lawsuit by an Ohio congresswoman.
TL;DR
- The Kennedy Center's board voted to put President Donald Trump's name on the building facade.
- The board also voted to rename the plaza outside the building "the President Donald J. Trump Plaza."
- A federal judge previously ordered Trump's name to be removed from the building.
- Rep. Joyce Beatty is continuing to fight against these changes, calling the vote an unlawful attempt to circumvent the court's order.
- Lawyers for Beatty stated this vote is a show of blatant disrespect to the courts.
