肯尼迪中心的一名发言人周三表示，这座表演艺术中心“没有建筑正在被拆除”，但特朗普总统随后称该中心将会“被拆毁”，而照片显示他当时正在查看一份写有“肯尼迪中心已拆除”的文件。
在众议员乔伊斯·比蒂周三提交的法庭文件中，一名证人称他看到“一辆叉车撞上并撞到了建筑的柱子”。乔伊斯·比蒂是当然理事，去年曾提起诉讼，要求叫停特朗普对肯尼迪中心的改动。该证人称：“我在此宣誓，如作伪证愿受伪证处罚，以上所述均属实无误。”
肯尼迪中心公共关系副总裁罗马·达瓦里周三晚间告诉“真实美国之声”栏目：“没有建筑正在被拆除”，人们应该无视“那些声称正在拆除的媒体，因为肯尼迪中心方面从未说过这样的话”。
司法部周四在法庭文件中表示，关闭时长将为一周，“除非延长”，以应对安全隐患。
在司法部提交的一份声明中，肯尼迪中心执行主任马特·弗洛卡表示，“由于建筑结构持续恶化，对公众安全构成的严重风险……因此需要临时关闭主楼的大部分公共区域”。在提交给法庭的一封致肯尼迪中心员工的邮件中，弗洛卡表示，任何关闭延期都将按周进行评估。
“需要明确的是，这并非执行董事会为翻新建筑而单独投票做出的决定，”弗洛卡在邮件中写道，“这是管理层在法院就该投票的合法性作出裁决之前，为应对迫在眉睫的生命安全风险而做出的一项独立决定。”
周三，肯尼迪中心周围竖起了围栏。
一名联邦法官周二裁定，特朗普的名字不得被添加到该建筑上。据一名消息人士透露， shortly之后，由特朗普盟友组成的肯尼迪中心董事会投票决定关闭该中心进行翻新。美国国会去年拨款超过2.5亿美元用于修复工程。负责监督此案的美国地区法官克里斯托弗·库珀必须批准董事会的这项决定，但他尚未裁定此次投票是否合法。
特朗普周三晚间重申，如果他为肯尼迪中心的修复工作筹款，他的政府应该得到认可——否则其未来将成问题。
“因此，对于特朗普政府，对于我来说，长期参与并承担这项工作，或者为这项工作筹款，我认为特朗普政府当然应该得到认可，”特朗普说，“因为坦率地说，如果我们不这么做，中心将会关闭，最终会被拆毁。”
周三晚间，在空军一号上，人们可以看到特朗普在从北卡罗来纳州的集会返回时，正在查看一份写有“肯尼迪中心已拆除”的文件。这张照片已作为证据提交给紧急动议。
肯尼迪中心于1971年开放，是一座国家级文化中心，也是约翰·F·肯尼迪总统的官方“活纪念碑”。

Kennedy Center says “nothing is being demolished” as Trump says it could be “ripped down”

A spokesperson for the Kennedy Center said Wednesday that “nothing is being demolished” at the performing arts center, although President Trump said later that it would be “ripped down,” and photos showed him looking at a document that said “Kennedy Center Demolished.”
In court documents filed Wednesday by Rep. Joyce Beatty, an ex officio board member who sued last year to halt Mr. Trump’s changes to the Kennedy Center, a witness said he saw a “forklift run into and hit the pillars” of the building. The witness said, “I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.”
Roma Davari, the Kennedy Center’s vice president of public relations, told “Real America’s Voice” Wednesday night that “nothing is being demolished” and that people should ignore “the media that is saying that because no one has ever said that coming from the institution.”
The Justice Department said in court documents Thursday that the duration of the closure will be for one week, “unless extended” to address safety hazards.
In a declaration submitted by the Justice Department, the center’s executive director, Matt Floca, said that “acute risks to public safety resulting from continued structural deterioration … necessitated a temporary closure of most public spaces in the main building.” In an email to Kennedy Center staff that was also submitted to the court, Floca said that any extensions of the closure would be evaluated on a week-to-week basis.
“To be clear, this is not a decision to effectuate the Board’s separate vote to close the building for renovation,” Floca wrote in the email. “It is a distinct decision by management to address imminent life-safety risks pending the Court’s ruling on that vote.”
On Wednesday, fencing was erected around the Kennedy Center.
A federal judge ruled Tuesday that Mr. Trump’s name cannot be added to the building. Shortly afterward, the Kennedy Center board, which is filled with allies of Mr. Trump’s, voted to close the center for renovations, a source said. Congress last year appropriated more than $250 million for the restoration. U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, who has been overseeing the case, must approve the board’s decision, but he has not yet determined whether the vote was lawful.
Mr. Trump on Wednesday night reiterated that if he were to raise money for the Kennedy Center’s restoration, his administration should be recognized — or its future would be in question.
“So for the Trump administration, for me, to get involved and to take that on long term and to carry it, or to raise money to carry it, I think that the Trump administration should certainly have recognition,” Mr. Trump said. “Because frankly, if we don’t do that, it’s going to close. It’ll end up being ripped down.”
On Air Force One Wednesday night, Mr. Trump could be seen looking at a document that said “Kennedy Center Demolished” as he was returning from a rally in North Carolina. The photo was entered as evidence in the emergency motion.

The Kennedy Center, which opened in 1971, is a national cultural center and is the official “living memorial” to President John F. Kennedy.
