The Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. has removed Donald Trump’s name from the building in a pre-dawn operation. This action follows a legal challenge regarding the continued use of his name on the venue. The Department of Justice had previously indicated it would be unable to meet a court-ordered deadline for the removal. Details surrounding the operation itself were not immediately released, but it confirms the name is no longer displayed on the building. The legal dispute stemmed from concerns over Trump’s actions following the January 6th Capitol attack. The removal signifies a severing of ties between the Kennedy Center and the former president. The center had previously sought to distance itself from Trump after the events of January 6th, 2021.
