Trump's Name to Be Removed from Kennedy Center After Judge Denies Last-Minute Injunction

A federal judge denied a last-minute request to keep Donald Trump's name on the Kennedy Center, allowing its removal. The board voted earlier this year to remove the name due to Trump's role in the January 6 riot.

The judge ruled the Kennedy Center had the right to make its own naming decisions. Removal work is expected to begin immediately.
