> The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts board voted Thursday to add an inscription bearing President Donald Trump’s name to the building’s exterior, Democratic Representative Joyce Beatty said. The move could put the board at odds with a federal judge who previously ordered Trump’s name removed from the facade.
