Judge asks pointed questions of Kennedy Center’s plan to add Trump’s name
Americas2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported8m ago
A federal judge held a hearing on Thursday regarding the Kennedy Center’s proposal to add President Donald Trump’s name to the building. The judge expressed frustration that the administration might proceed with the addition before a final legal determination on the matter is reached, questioning the center's timeline during the two-hour proceeding.
Following the hearing, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick proposed an alternative approach, suggesting the center could acknowledge the President’s role in proposed renovations. This suggestion marks a shift in the administration's public strategy as the legal dispute over the building's signage continues.
