Appeals court denies Trump's request to keep his name on Kennedy Center

A federal appeals court has denied Donald Trump's request to restore his name to the Kennedy Center. The court cited a lack of evidence supporting the claim that the center would suffer financial decline without his name. Trump's name must therefore remain off the building pending further appeal.
