A federal judge is hearing arguments on a legal challenge concerning the Trump administration's attempt to place President Trump's name on the Kennedy Center complex. The proposal includes naming the facade twice and designating the grounds in his honor.
During the hearing, U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper reportedly steered the discussion away from the condition of the complex, preventing the center's lawyer from discussing its "dilapidated" state. This legal battle marks the latest in a series of efforts by the Trump administration to associate the president's name with the prominent cultural institution.
