Kennedy Center to Cover $250,000 Legal Fees of Jazz Musician Who Protested Trump Takeover

Americas 3 sources 1 country 🔦 Under-reported 56m ago

A D.C. Superior Court judge has ordered the Kennedy Center to pay $250,000 in legal fees to jazz musician Chuck Redd. The ruling follows a failed lawsuit initiated by the performing arts venue against Redd, who canceled his annual Christmas Eve performance last year. Judge Tanya Jones Bosier dismissed the Kennedy Center’s case against the musician in June.

Redd’s decision to withdraw from the engagement occurred in the wake of President Trump’s overhaul of the Kennedy Center’s leadership and operations. The court's decision to mandate the payment of legal fees concludes the legal dispute between the organization and the artist regarding the canceled appearance.
