WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge has ordered the removal of Donald Trump's name from the Kennedy Center building, with a deadline of June 14, 2026. The ruling came after a legal challenge over the naming of the venue's exterior.
Matt Floca, executive director and chief operating officer of the performing arts venue, informed the court on Saturday that the name had been removed as required. The tarp covering the sign remains in place temporarily.
The decision follows a dispute over the naming, which was part of a broader controversy involving the former president's association with the cultural institution. The Kennedy Center has not commented further on the matter.
