Trump Chickens Out at Last Minute in Kennedy Center Demo & Renaming Suit!!!
Summary
Michael Popok reports that the Trump administration delayed renaming the Kennedy Center until October 8 to allow Judge Cooper to rule on an emergency injunction. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick argued for Trump’s involvement in renovations, but failed to provide evidence in court. Popok criticizes the DOJ’s lack of proof and urges plaintiffs to seek a court-appointed monitor to prevent the building’s demolition or neglect.
