Former President Donald Trump has publicly criticized U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper and his wife, Amy Jeffress, following a judicial ruling that mandates the removal of Trump's name from the Kennedy Center without Congressional approval. In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed his anger, labeling Cooper as a 'Trump-hating judge' and accusing Jeffress of being an 'anti-Trump hater.' Cooper's decision effectively halted a planned two-year renovation of the center, which Trump claims is in critical condition, stating that 'people shouldn’t be allowed to go into that building until this is fixed.' Trump further alleged that Jeffress has connections to the January 6 committee and is currently representing President Joe Biden. He emphasized that the decision to name the center after him was made by a distinguished board, not solely by him, and warned that if his name is removed, he might consider closing the center permanently.
