Circuit said Trump\u2019s lawyers had failed to prove that removing his name would damage fundraising efforts at the iconic performing arts venue, which has faced declining ticket sales and widespread artist cancellations since Trump initiated a MAGA takeover last year<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Trump has argued that removing his name from the building\u2019s exterior would cause \u201cirreparable harm\u201d to fundraising.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>But this week\u2019s ruling said the president\u2019s lawyers had failed to provide any evidence for that claim.<\/p>\n<p>The defendants \u201cfailed to support this assertion with any specific facts or evidence,\u201d the circuit court said in its ruling. \u201cThey offer only the conclusory assertions of the Kennedy Center\u2019s Executive Director that were made in a factually unsupported declaration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The court also brushed aside a separate argument that the Kennedy Center could be forced to refund donations if Trump\u2019s name was not restored, noting that the claim had never been presented to the lower court.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted the White House for comment.<\/p>\n<p>The legal challenge was brought by Joyce Beatty, an Ohio Democrat who serves as an ex officio trustee of the Kennedy Center, which is formally known as the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.<\/p>\n<p>She said this week\u2019s ruling reaffirms that Trump\u2019s effort to rename the Kennedy Center after himself was \u201cunlawful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s ruling again affirms that this administration\u2019s efforts to rename the Kennedy Center were unlawful,\u201d Beatty said. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3137\">Trump Taunts Female Reporter With Ghoulish Air Force One Gibe<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis name no longer desecrates this sacred memorial, which belongs to the American people. Now it is time for the Trump administration to accept this, comply with the law, and take the tarps down,\u201d she added, referring to the large tarps and scaffolding that were installed, obstructing the facade of the building, hours before Trump\u2019s name was due to be removed from the front of the Kennedy Center.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy Center Executive Director Matt Floca said in a court declaration that the lettering displaying Trump\u2019s name had been taken down, but weeks later the building\u2019s facade remains covered by tarps and scaffolding.<\/p>\n<p>Judge Casey Cooper has directed the Kennedy Center to justify why its exterior signage remains hidden behind tarps and scaffolding. <\/p>\n<p>The order comes after Trump\u2019s name was stripped from both the building and the center\u2019s website under Cooper\u2019s May 29 ruling, which also barred the venue from shutting down for renovations \u2014 a decision the Trump administration is expected to appeal.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s handpicked board at the center voted last December to add his name to the prestigious D.C. venue, and fresh signage went up the next day to rename the building \u201cThe Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Cooper ordered the name removed in May, on the grounds that Trump had failed to seek congressional approval for the name change.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cCongress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it,\u201d Cooper wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3135\">Scott Jennings Schooled by CNN Host After Trainwreck Trump Defense<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump suffered another humiliating courtroom defeat as a federal appeals court refused to block a ruling ordering the removal of his name from the Kennedy Center.
