WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Sunday he will move to close Washington’s Kennedy Center performing arts venue for two years starting in July for construction.

Trump’s announcement on social media follows a wave of cancellations since Trump ousted the previous leadership and added his name to the building. Trump made no mention in his post of the recent cancellations.

I don't think this one is about Epstein, but instead an excuse to cover up all the artists canceling gigs there because of trump's illegal renaming.

USA Today has rolled with the name change. Just a thing I noticed before uninstalling their app.
