A US judge has ordered the removal of former President Donald Trump’s name from the title of the Kennedy Center. The decision was made by Judge Mary Roberts of the District of Columbia Superior Court on Tuesday. The Kennedy Center, located in Washington, D.C., is a renowned performing arts venue.
The legal dispute began in January when the Kennedy Center sued the Trump Organization, seeking to remove Trump’s name from the building. The center argued that Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol on January 6, which violated the terms of the agreement that allowed his name to be displayed. The Trump Organization contested the lawsuit, claiming that removing the name would be politically motivated and an attempt to silence Trump and his supporters.
Judge Roberts ruled in favor of the Kennedy Center, stating that the events of January 6 constituted a breach of the agreement. She emphasized that the decision was based on contractual obligations rather than political considerations. The judge ordered the immediate removal of Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center.
The Trump Organization has expressed disappointment with the ruling and is considering appealing the decision. They maintain that the agreement signed with the Kennedy Center did not contain provisions related to criminal conduct or actions by third parties.
The removal of Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center signifies the latest development in the ongoing legal battles and controversies involving the former president following his time in office.
