Hello and Happy Thursday, folks! Audience Editor Edgar Ramirez here, back in your inbox with the latest (for now) on the unfolding drama surrounding the John F. Kennedy Center.
As Jacob Ogles reports, construction crews put up metal fencing around the center and a forklift was spotted on premises while President Donald Trump has reviewed signage reading “Kennedy Center DEMOLISHED.”
Administration officials in a court filing today insisted a closure of the performing arts center was temporary and would last just a week. But developments on the ground suggest the administration may be exploring plans to raze the memorial to a slain president to the ground because courts won’t let Trump put his own name on it.
We'll keep you updated as this story unfolds.
Until next time!
