A federal judge says President Trump cannot officially rename the Kennedy Center with his own name. The new filing just ends as Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name and only Congress can change it, ordering the administration to remove the new signage. The president's name changed the website as well. Over the next 14 days, the judge will also stop the president from closing the performing arts facility for two years while it undergoes repair work. However, it does not prevent the work from getting done. Democratic Congresswoman Joyce Beatty is on the board of the Kennedy Center and brought the lawsuit, she writes in a statement to NBC News. Quote, the Kennedy Center is an institution that belongs to the American people, not to Donald Trump. But in the last hour, the path hour, the president said, quote, we are going to be working with Congress to transfer this failing institution back to them so they can make a determination as to what to do with it.
