What the Kennedy Center’s Tax Return Reveals (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For 19 months, Donald Trump has portrayed himself as the Kennedy Center’s savior. He promised to root out “woke” programming at the arts complex. He claimed that past leaders had neglected dangerous conditions in the building—a structure that he now says might have to be “ripped down” if he can’t put his name on it. Throughout his tenure, he and his allies have accused former executives of financial mismanagement and even “fraud” that left the organization struggling. Now there’s a fuller pictur
A Shouting Match and an Ultimatum at the Kennedy Center (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Donald Trump has given the federal judiciary an ultimatum: Let him put his name on the Kennedy Center, or he won’t save it. That threat came after a federal judge, Christopher Cooper, today blocked yet another effort to add the president’s name to the building.

What could deliver a resolution? That’s still not clear, in part because the defendant in a long-running lawsuit—the Kennedy Center’s board of trustees—keeps making decisions that drag out t
Trump’s New Plan to Get His Name Back on the Kennedy Center (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Donald Trump just won’t let go of his plans for the Kennedy Center. Less than three months after a federal judge ordered the president’s name stripped from the national arts center, Trump’s handpicked trustees have found a new way to try to put him back on the building. During a board meeting today, they voted in favor of a resolution that would return the president’s name to the building’s facade. It would read: The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts Restored and Renovated
