The Kennedy Center is shut down for safety repairs — a move swiftly challenged in court after Trump-linked controversy erupted over renaming the building. A Democratic congresswoman, a trustee, demanded emergency legal action, accusing the closure of being politically motivated. Activists fear the historic venue could be demolished before legal battles conclude, citing past White House demolitions.
