New Kennedy Center whistleblower documents allege that renovations at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts were rushed to prepare for a December ceremony where President Donald Trump was expected to receive FIFA's 'peace prize.'
The allegations were detailed in a letter from Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, who claimed the centre bypassed established procurement standards to fast-track construction work ahead of a series of high-profile events. Both the Kennedy Center and the White House have rejected key allegations.
