The Kennedy Center is preparing for an immediate closure, following a vote by its board, which was handpicked by President Donald Trump. The venue is slated to undergo renovations.
President Trump has reportedly threatened to withhold or cancel funding for these repairs. His comments about the center's closure came hours after a judge issued a ruling preventing him from affixing his name to the institution.
Amidst these developments, a Georgetown professor is reportedly examining the Kennedy Center's various legal and financial options. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
