Federal appeals court denies Trump's request to restore his name to the Kennedy Center pending appeal.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit denied the Trump administration's motion for a stay pending appeal, leaving in place a lower court order that removed President Trump's name from the Kennedy Center. The court found the administration failed to demonstrate irreparable harm or provide specific evidence that fundraising would suffer without the Trump name. The underlying lawsuit was brought by Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH), who argued the name change violated the law establishing the center.
