A federal judge has denied a last-minute request to keep former President Donald Trump's name on the Kennedy Center, clearing the way for its removal. The decision ends a legal battle over the naming of the iconic venue.
- The judge ruled that plaintiffs failed to show irreparable harm or likelihood of success. - The Kennedy Center board voted to remove Trump's name after his second impeachment.
- Removal process expected to begin immediately, with signage and materials being updated. - Critics celebrated the ruling, while supporters decried it as politically motivated.
The ruling is final and cannot be appealed, marking a symbolic victory for opponents of the former president.
