Appeals Court Denies Trump Stay in Kennedy Center Name Case

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled July 8 that Trump's name must remain off the Kennedy Center's facade during the administration's appeal of a lower court order. The three-judge panel rejected arguments that removing the name threatens fundraising, finding the board lacked specific evidence of donor impact. This marks the second time the appellate court has refused to pause the order requiring Trump's name removal.
