DOJ raises Kennedy Center demolition if judge blocks Trump overhaul
What's new: The warning came in a Tuesday court filing tied to renovations meant to add features recognizing Trump personally.
The Justice Department told a federal court Tuesday that the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts could face demolition if a judge permanently stops President Donald Trump’s renovation push. The filing tied that possibility to a legal fight over planned additions to the Washington arts complex, ABC News reported. The proposed changes are intended to recognize Trump personally. The court dispute centers on whether a federal judge will block the overhaul on a lasting basis. ABC described the matter as developing, with no ruling reported yet on the request for a permanent block.
