Trump's name must be removed from Kennedy Center, judge orders

A federal judge ordered the removal of President Donald Trump's name from the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, ruling the Trump administration's rebranding of the iconic institution is illegal.

U.S. District Court Judge Christopher Cooper, in a opinion issued May 29, said the Kennedy Center must remove Trump's name from the institution's title within 14 days. That includes taking down the recently installed signage on the center's facade and stripping Trump's name from the center's website other official materials.

Cooper, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, also overturned Trump's planned two-year closure of the Kennedy Center that was set to begin in July to accommodate massive renovations to the building.
