The D.C. Superior Court ordered the Kennedy Center to pay $252,479.70 in attorneys' fees to Chuck Redd after dismissing its $1 million breach-of-contract suit under the anti-SLAPP statute. The ruling reinforces fee-shifting as a powerful deterrent against lawsuits aimed at silencing political protest.
Federal Judge Christopher R. Cooper denied the Kennedy Center’s extension request and ordered a status report within weeks, specifically requiring an explanation for scaffolding and a tarp obscuring the names of Presidents Kennedy and Trump. The order forces the board, chaired by Trump, to disclose its three renovation options ahead of a mid-July vote, intensifying judicial oversight of the federal memorial.
