Story summary

U.S. District Judge Christopher R. Cooper ordered on Thursday that the Trump administration must provide at least 30 days' notice before making any major physical changes, including demolition, to the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., after President Trump threatened to "rip down" the building if his name is not recognized there. The judge's ruling followed comments made by Trump and a viral image showing him apparently viewing plans for the center’s demolition during an Air Force One flight. Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (D-OH) and the DC Preservation League had filed lawsuits challenging the administration's proposed renovations, which included adding Trump's name to the facade. The Kennedy Center closed suddenly on Wednesday due to structural safety concerns, leading to fencing around the building as activists protested potential demolition threats.
