The judge who ordered President Donald Trump's name removed from the Kennedy Center is married to an attorney who has represented a former anti-Trump FBI lawyer, served as counsel to the House Jan. 6 committee and currently represents former President Joe Biden — relationships that Trump blasted as clear conflicts of interest following the ruling.
Trump claimed in a heated Truth Social post that U.S. District Court of D.C. Judge Christopher Cooper's wife, Amy Jeffress, a former Obama-era Justice Department attorney turned top lawyer of Trump', encouraged her husband to reject Trump's Kennedy Center renovation plans and remove his name from the building.
He pointed to Jeffress' past and current clients, which include some of his most prominent critics, as evidence that she is "a Radical Left Democrat" who is influencing her husband to rule against him.
"Trump Hating Judge wants to keep it open because his wife probably told him to do so!" Trump wrote of Cooper, referring to his rejection of Trump's plans to close the Kennedy Center for two years for renovations.
