The Kennedy Center Board of Trustees voted to rename the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts the Trump-Kennedy Center, a move announced by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt after months in which Donald Trump replaced trustees and reshaped the institution.Members of the Kennedy family including Maria Shriver, Timothy Shriver and Joe Kennedy III reacted with outrage, and Jack Schlossberg and Representative Joyce Beatty alleged participants were muted during the board call while Leavitt said the unanimous vote recognized Trump’s role in saving and restoring the building.Legal experts and preservation groups point to a U.S. Code provision that bars additional memorials in public areas of the center, preservation groups sued over a costly East Wing ballroom project, and critics warned the renaming politicizes a federal memorial and will likely prompt litigation and congressional scrutiny.
