\n A federal appeals court for a second time said it would not quickly intervene to reverse a judge\u2019s order that removed President Donald Trump\u2019s name from the Kennedy Center.\n <\/p>\n

\n The from the DC US Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Trump\u2019s arguments that taking his name off the building would dampen fundraising efforts for the performing arts institution.\n <\/p>\n

\n The defendants in the case \u201cfailed to support this assertion with any specific facts or evidence,\u201d the circuit court said. \u201cThey offer only the conclusory assertions of the Kennedy Center\u2019s Executive Director that were made in a factually unsupported declaration.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Trump had also argued that the Kennedy Center\u2019s bylaws would require it to return contributions that it had brought in unless his name was put back on its facade. The appeals court noted the defendants never made that claim when the case was before the district court. The lawsuit was brought by Ohio Rep. Joyce Beatty, a Democrat and an ex-officio trustee.\n <\/p>\n

\n Circuit Judges Patricia Millet and Robert Wilkins \u2014 both appointees of former President Barack Obama \u2014 were on the panel considering the emergency appeal as well as Circuit Judge Gregory Katsas, a Trump appointee known for being aligned with some of the conservative justices on the US Supreme Court. There were no dissents from the new order.\n <\/p>\n

\n Hours before Trump\u2019s name was removed from the building\u2019s exterior last month, workers constructed scaffolding with tarp obstructing the facade.\n <\/p>\n

\n Kennedy Center Executive Director Matt Floca affirmed in a declaration that the letters bearing Trump\u2019s name were removed, however, the tarp remains in place weeks later. CNN has obtained images from behind the tarp confirming Floca\u2019s declaration.\n <\/p>\n

\n US District Judge Casey Cooper has demanded that the institution provide an explanation for the tarp and scaffolding that has covered the building\u2019s exterior signage in the coming weeks.\n <\/p>\n

\n Trump\u2019s name was taken down from the Kennedy Center building after the same panel of appellate judges his request for an immediate, \u201cadministrative\u201d order to pause its removal ahead of the deadline set by Cooper.\n <\/p>\n

\n Cooper\u2019s May 29 ruling said that Trump\u2019s name had to be removed both from the physical building and from its website. It also blocked plans to close the center for renovations. A longer-term appeal of that ruling will continue.\n <\/p>\n

\n A source familiar with the matter told CNN that plans to bolster programming are \u201ccoming together\u201d and will be discussed at the next board meeting, expected as soon as next week.\n <\/p>\n

\n The center has added some additional new music programming at the Millennium Stage throughout the month of July.\n <\/p>\n
