The Trump-aligned Kennedy Center board decided to close most of the renowned performing arts facility just hours after a federal judge prohibited the organization from reinstating President Donald Trump's name to the building. President Trump had announced the closure was necessary for safety upgrades, but he also insisted that Congress must grant permission for adding his name to the structure.
