The HillLawyers for an ex officio board member of the Kennedy Center filed a motion Monday with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The filing asks the court to order removal of a tarp covering the building's exterior and to restore the center's original name.
The motion states that the tarp was installed after President Trump's name was removed from the building. It argues that the covering is an effort to frustrate restoration of the prior status quo.
Background of the dispute The board member had filed an earlier lawsuit against the administration. Government lawyers said the Trump administration complied with a district court order to remove the president's name from digital and physical signage.
The center's executive director stated in a separate filing that management plans to present renovation options to the board between July and December. The motion also requests that the district court deny the Kennedy Center board's appeal to keep the president's name on the exterior.
