Judge demands answers over tarp covering Kennedy Center name

Donald Trump Kennedy Center (Facility)
  • A federal judge ordered the removal of Donald Trump 's name from the Kennedy Center facade by June 12, following a ruling that the venue must only be named after John F. Kennedy.
  • Workers began assembling scaffolding and covered Trump's name with a white tarp on June 12, but the name was not fully removed until the early hours of June 13.
  • The judge has now demanded an explanation by July 31 for why the scaffolding and tarp remain in place, covering the area where the name once was.
  • Lawyers opposing Trump's efforts argue the persistent tarp is a “petty act of defiance” designed to “willfully sabotage” the facade and appeal to Trump's ego.
  • Despite a court order against closing, Kennedy Center officials are delaying renovations and not booking new shows, which lawyers contend is an effective shutdown of the institution.
