The Kennedy Center has removed President Donald Trump's name from its website in compliance with a court order issued by U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper. The judge ruled that the name change was made unlawfully and mandated that all references to Trump be removed by June 12. While the website and YouTube channel have been updated, Trump's name remains on other social media accounts and the venue's signage as of Monday afternoon. The lawsuit, filed by Rep. Joyce Beatty, argued that Congress needed to rename the building, as it was named by statute after President John F. Kennedy following his assassination in 1963. Trump had previously appointed a board of trustees that approved the name change last year. The judge also blocked a planned two-year renovation of the Kennedy Center that Trump had proposed. In response to the ruling, Trump criticized the judge on social media, expressing disappointment over the halted renovation plans. The Kennedy Center stated it is evaluating legal options while complying with the court's order.
