A three-judge panel on Wednesday denied a request from the Kennedy Center\u2019s board to restore President\u00a0Donald Trump\u2019s name to the institution\u00a0while the board appeals an\u00a0earlier ruling\u00a0that dubbed the name change illegal and had\u00a0it rescinded.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s another setback for the board of trustees, of which Trump is chairman, in\u00a0a saga\u00a0that began earlier this year when the Kennedy Center became: \u201cThe Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.\u201d<\/p>\n

The conspicuous addition, and ensuing legal battle, became symbolic of Trump\u2019s broader push to imprint his legacy \u2014 and, in this case, his actual name \u2014 on the nation\u2019s capitol in his final term.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0\u00a0that the request \u201cfailed to show how they will be irreparably injured\u201d if Trump\u2019s name remains off the building through the appeal process.<\/p>\n

The board had argued that the the removal \u201cthreatens to impede\u201d fundraising efforts, but the judges found that claim came without the support of \u201cspecific facts or evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Kennedy Center did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.<\/p>\n

A federal judge earlier this year ruled that the name change was illegal, and Trump\u2019s name was removed from the building\u2019s white marble facade in June. A large tarp still obscures the place on the building where Trump\u2019s name had been.<\/p>\n
