The judge called the closure ill-informed and warned the board can’t unilaterally shut down the landmark without weighing all consequences. President Trump responded by demanding Congress take over operations, even directing the Commerce Department to act. The ruling, stemming from a lawsuit by Rep. Joyce Beatty, allows repairs to proceed but demands the board follow legal limits. The Kennedy Center board vows to appeal, standing by their decision to honor Trump’s contributions while pushing ahead with much-needed renovations.
