一位知情的投票消息人士透露，与特朗普结盟的肯尼迪中心董事会投票决定立即关闭该场馆进行翻新。此前特朗普总统及其董事会盟友多次警告，如果不采取行动，该中心将面临财务和实体破败的困境。
本周二早些时候，一名联邦法官再次阻止了该董事会——由特朗普担任主席，成员包括其内阁成员和政治盟友——在建筑上添加特朗普名字的尝试，此前特朗普曾下令移除这些标识。
“未经国会批准，被告不得在肯尼迪中心为特朗普总统或其他任何人、任何事物安装纪念标识，”美国地区法官克里斯托弗·库珀在其裁决中表示。
库珀的裁决是针对董事会8月投票决定在肯尼迪中心名称下方添加“由唐纳德·J·特朗普总统翻新修复”铭文的诉讼作出的。
去年12月，该董事会投票将该中心更名为“唐纳德·J·特朗普与约翰·F·肯尼迪表演艺术纪念中心”，并在建筑外墙上添加了特朗普的名字。库珀法官在5月裁定特朗普的名字被非法添加，并下令移除。当时他还阻止了政府关闭该场馆进行翻新的计划。
自特朗普的名字被移除以来，展示肯尼迪中心名称的外墙一直被盖着防水布的脚手架遮挡。
司法部律师在诉讼的法庭文件中辩称，该中心“危险破旧、过时且年久失修”的状况，以及近期的财务亏损，使得这座纪念约翰·F·肯尼迪总统的场馆陷入“财务和结构上的死亡螺旋”，必须关闭进行翻新。
去年，国会批准了2.5亿美元用于该翻新项目。
在董事会周二投票后不久，特朗普在Truth Social的一篇帖子中表示，在美国哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院就司法部对库珀此前禁止在建筑上添加特朗普名字的裁决提起的上诉作出裁决之前，该中心不会开工建设。
“如果裁决结果不利——本不应该如此，且不会被美国最高法院推翻——肯尼迪中心的重建和翻新将不会进行，”特朗普说道，并补充称他目前已筹集了1700万美元捐款，用于帮助该中心“维持运转”。
特朗普提到的捐款来源并未披露，目前也不清楚这些捐款将流向何处。

Trump-aligned Kennedy Center board votes to close institution immediately for renovations, source says

The Trump-aligned Kennedy Center board voted to immediately close the institution for renovations, a source familiar with the vote said, after President Trump and his allies on the board repeatedly warned of financial and physical ruin for the center if no action is taken.
Earlier Tuesday, a federal judge again blocked the board — which is chaired by Mr. Trump and composed of his Cabinet members and political allies — from adding Mr. Trump’s name to the building after he had previously ordered it to be removed.
“Defendants cannot install memorials for President Trump or anyone or anything else at the Kennedy Center without Congress’s blessing,” U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper said in his ruling.
Cooper’s ruling came in response to the board’s vote in August to add the inscription “Renovated and Restored by President Donald J. Trump” beneath the Kennedy Center’s name on the building.
Last December, the board had voted to rename the center “The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts,” and added Mr. Trump’s name to the facade. Judge Cooper ruled in May that Mr. Trump’s name had been added illegally and ordered its removal. At the time, he also blocked the administration from closing the venue for renovations.
Since Mr. Trump’s name was removed, the exterior wall displaying the Kennedy Center’s name has been obscured by a tarp-covered scaffold.
Lawyers for the Justice Department argued in court filings in the lawsuit that the center’s “dangerously dilapidated, outdated, and decrepit” conditions and recent financial losses put the living memorial to President John F. Kennedy in a “financial and structural death spiral” that requires it to be closed for renovations.
Last year, Congress approved $250 million for the renovation project.
In a Truth Social post shortly after the board voted Tuesday, Mr. Trump said that construction would not begin on the center until after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit rules on a Justice Department appeal of Cooper’s earlier order barring the first renaming, with Mr. Trump’s name on the building.
“If the ruling is a negative one, which it should not be, and is not overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, the Reconstruction and the Renovation of The Kennedy Center will not take place,” Mr. Trump said, adding that he has raised $17 million so far in donations to send to the center to “keep it afloat.”
The source of the donations mentioned by Mr. Trump was not disclosed, and it’s unclear where the donations are going.
