The Kennedy Center ordered employees to remove President Donald Trump’s name from the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts building and strip the president’s name from its website, signs, brochures and other material immediately, according to an internal memo obtained by the Washington Post.
The move comes days after a federal judge ruled that neither the president nor the Kennedy Center board of trustees has the authority to add his name to the Kennedy Center. The judge said only Congress had the authority to tack Trump’s name onto the center, which was initially named for former President John F. Kennedy.
