Appeals court denies Trump's request to halt removal of his name from Kennedy Center
Trump's name has already been taken off the facade of the building.
A panel of D.C. Circuit appeals court judges on Wednesday rejected a request by President Donald Trump and fellow members of the Kennedy Center's board to stay a lower court's order that Trump's name be removed from the building.
The unsigned order from the appellate panel noted that the president's name has already been taken off the facade of the building, and found that center officials "have failed to show how they will be irreparably injured absent a stay."
The panel of judges, which includes Trump appointee Gregory Katsas, also shrugged off the board's argument that taking Trump's name off of the Kennedy Center could negatively affect its fundraising and "contribute to the financial decline of the Center."
The judges said Trump and his fellow board members "failed to support this assertion with any specific facts or evidence."
"Today's ruling again affirms that this administration's efforts to rename the Kennedy Center were unlawful," Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio) said in a statement. "Now it is time for the Trump administration to accept this."
U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled in May that Trump's name had to come down after the new Trump-controlled board voted in December to rename the building the "Trump-Kennedy Center."
Cooper also voided a vote of the board to close the center for renovations, starting this month.
He has since directed the center's leadership to provide him with an update on any programming and renovation plans that might come out of a board meeting expected in mid-July.

Tarp remains at the Kennedy Center as appeals court rejects latest request
More than a month after President Donald Trump's name was removed, a tarp covering the sign remains.
WASHINGTON — More than a month after a judge ordered President Donald Trump's name be removed from the Kennedy Center, a large tarp remains over the venue's sign. Now, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has rejected the Trump Administration's latest request.
In May, Judge Christopher Cooper ruled that Trump's name could not be added to the performing arts center without congressional approval.
“Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it," wrote Cooper.
On Wednesday, judges denied a request from the Kennedy Center board to restore Trump's name while the appeals process continues. The court says the board failed to demonstrate that "it or the public will be irreparably harmed while its appeal is heard[,]” and “a showing of irreparable harm is a necessary prerequisite for a stay.”
Crowds gathered to watch Trump's name be removed from the signage last month. Nearly a month after the removal, a tarp covering the sign remains. Judge Cooper has since ordered the board to explain why.
"The report shall also indicate the purpose for and status of the tarp and scaffolding that Defendants have erected on the front portico of the Center, to the extent they remain at that time," the order reads.
The Kennedy Center Board will have until seven days from the mid-July Board of Trustees meeting to file the joint status report, or by July 31, whichever is earlier.
