Federal judge orders all Trump signage stripped from Kennedy Center building

Federal judge orders Trump's name removed from Kennedy Center, says only Congress can rename it
The board of trustees overstepped its statutory bounds by unilaterally renaming the building, the judge ruled
By Louis Casiano Fox News
Published May 29, 2026 4:10pm EDT

A federal judge on Friday ordered that President Donald Trump's name be removed from the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, an Obama appointee, said the iconic venue cannot be renamed without an act of Congress, ruling that the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees overstepped its "statutory bounds by unilaterally renaming" the building.

As part of his ruling, the Trump administration will be required to take down all physical signage bearing Trump’s name and eliminate any references to a "Trump-Kennedy Center" from official materials.



"The Kennedy Center’s organic statute makes crystal clear that the Center is to be named for President Kennedy, and it cannot bear any other formal name or public memorial based on the Board’s unilateral say-so," Cooper wrote. "Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it."

Roma Daravi, the Trump Kennedy Center vice president of public relations, said the board plans to appeal the decision.

"We will review the decision carefully though the reality remains — the Center requires an urgent and significant restoration – a truth that even the plaintiff acknowledges," Daravi said. "With $257 million secured by President Trump and approved by Congress, the resources are in place and we remain committed to pursuing every lawful avenue to ensure the Trump Kennedy Center is restored as a national cultural landmark for all Americans to enjoy."

The ruling was part of a lawsuit filed by U.S. Rep. Joyce Beatty, D-Ohio. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Judge Married To Joe Biden’s Personal Attorney Says Trump Can’t Put His Name On Kennedy Center

The federal judge who ruled Friday that it is unlawful for President Donald Trump to add his name to the Kennedy Center is the husband of former President Joe Biden’s personal attorney.

U.S. District Judge Christopher R. Cooper, who is married to Joe Biden’s personal attorney Amy Jeffress, ruled that President Trump can’t legally add his name to the Kennedy Center, effectively blocking the performing arts venue’s updated moniker — the Trump Kennedy Center, court documents show. Cooper also blocked the administration’s plans for a two-year closure so the center can undergo significant renovations.

According to Judge Cooper, Trump’s name cannot be added as the law that established the center “makes crystal clear that the Center is to be named for President Kennedy, and it cannot bear any other formal name or public memorial based on the Board’s unilateral say-so.”

The ruling was made in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, where Judge Cooper has presided since 2014, after being appointed to the bench under former President Barack Obama.

In 1994, Congress turned management over to the center itself.  They can name it whatever they want.
