  "account": "A federal judge issued an order on Sept 17 requiring US President Donald Trump's administration to provide a minimum of 30 days notice before any actions to demolish the Kennedy Centre. This decision came after Trump suggested the landmark venue could be torn down if his plans for the site were not followed. The order was issued by US District Judge Christopher Cooper, following new evidence submitted by lawyers representing Democratic Congresswoman Joyce Beatty, who is suing to keep the venue open. Beatty argues that the closure of the venue is a setup for indefinite shutdown and eventual demolition.",
  "summary": "The order came after US President Donald Trump said the Kennedy Centre could be \"ripped down\" if his plans for the venue were not carried out.",
