Kennedy Center asks court to pause Trump-name order

President Trump's board at the Kennedy Center is mounting a last-minute effort to keep his name on the facade of the performing arts facility before a court-ordered deadline to remove it by Friday.

1. Frame 1Judge Christopher Cooper ordered Trump's name removed from Kennedy Center signs by Friday, saying Congress controls the venue's name.
2. Frame 2Trump's appointed board voted Thursday to seek a stay, trying to keep the facade name in place.
3. Frame 3The Justice Department filed a notice of appeal less than a day before the removal deadline.
4. Frame 4The ruling also blocked a planned two-year closure for major renovations that were set to start in July.
5. Frame 5The center had already dropped Trump's name from its website and staff materials after a June 4 legal memo.
6. Frame 6By Friday, emergency relief decides whether Trump's name stays or comes off building materials.
