Trump's name must come off the Kennedy Center by June 12 (CBS News)
Lawyers for what is currently called the Trump Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts are instructing staff to immediately begin switching the name of the facility back to its original title.
The instructions, laid out in a memo sent Thursday by the center's general counsel and obtained by CBS News, are the first official signal the national arts hub is complying with a federal court order to drop President Trump's name and reconsider plans to close for two years of renovations.
U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper last week ruled in favor of Democratic Rep. Joyce Beatty of Ohio, a member of the Kennedy Center's Board of Trustees, who filed a lawsuit challenging the institution's name change and plans to close for two years for extensive repairs beginning this summer.
Cooper found the board had overstepped its authority and ordered the president's name to be removed from "the institution's title, as represented on the façade of the Center, any other physical or digital signage, and official materials."
