Judge orders Kennedy Center to give 30-day notice before any major changes — including demolition
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
Matt Floca, the Kennedy Center's executive director and chief operating officer, said he closed the iconic performing arts centre temporarily due to "acute risks to public safety resulting from continued structural deterioration" of the aging building.
Barbra Streisand, a Kennedy Center honoree in 2008, on Thursday questioned the closing of the centre for repairs and called the controversy surrounding its operation "galling and painful to witness."
Cooper ruled in May that the Kennedy Center illegally added Trump's name to the building, ordering it removed.
