The judge ordered the restoration of the original name and invalidated the previously announced plan that would have closed the performing arts center for two years for renovation works.

The court's decision stated that the board of directors did not possess all the necessary information when they approved the plan to shut down the performing arts center. This ruling effectively nullifies the extensive renovation project that had been in the works.

According to Politico, Donald Trump had personally overseen the Kennedy Center's renovation plans in recent months. During the court proceedings, it was revealed that the former president had significant input on various aspects of the project, ranging from architectural concepts to interior design details.
