The Trump administration says it is still considering a “partial closure” of the Kennedy Center, even after a federal judge ordered the center to remain open. In a court filing submitted late Friday, the administration indicated that the Kennedy Center is weighing whether to continue operations with either a full slate of performances or a more limited programming schedule over the coming months. The dispute stems from an earlier decision: U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled that the Kennedy Center’s board improperly voted to close the institution, blocking a planned full shutdown that the center had described in connection with a two-year renovation plan.

CBS News reports the administration’s position before the judge as the center evaluates what level of programming it can offer. The Hill and the Washington Times similarly describe the administration’s filing as keeping open the possibility of limiting performances rather than closing entirely. The filings reflect ongoing legal and operational uncertainty about how the Kennedy Center will proceed with renovations while complying with the court order.
