Donald Trump’s administration claims the Kennedy Center stands to lose “hundreds of millions” of dollars without his name attached to the building, which the Department of Justice says should be renamed in the president’s honor after he “donated his time, energy and unparalleled Construction talents” to renovating the venue.
The Justice Department is appealing a federal court order requiring the venue to remove Trump’s name from the building’s facade, which is still covered in scaffolding and a white tarp that hides the empty space where his name appeared.
