The Trump-installed board that runs the Kennedy Center told a federal judge the building will have to be torn down unless President Donald Trump's name goes on it.
Justice Department lawyers made the argument for Trump on Monday in a court filing before U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper. It opposes an emergency motion by Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH), a board member who sued to stop the renaming.
The board voted on Aug. 13 to carve "Restored and Renovated by President Donald J. Trump" into the front of the building and to rename the grounds "President Donald J. Trump Plaza."
