华盛顿，6月24日（路透社）——一名联邦法官周三下令特朗普政府作出解释，说明在根据法院命令将这位共和党领导人的名字从建筑上移除后，为何要用遮盖布盖住肯尼迪中心的外立面。
美国地区法官克里斯托弗·库珀表示，政府必须在7月31日前提交报告，说明这座标志性建筑目前遮盖布和脚手架的“用途及现状”。

本月早些时候，根据库珀的命令，工作人员在凌晨的行动中移除了特朗普的名字，随后安装了这块遮盖布。库珀此前裁定，特朗普政府在去年12月将他的名字加到建筑外墙上是非法的。
白宫和肯尼迪中心没有立即回复置评请求。
在民主党众议员、肯尼迪中心董事会成员乔伊斯·比蒂提起的诉讼中，法官上月下令移除华盛顿这家剧院综合体标牌上的特朗普名字，并驳回了他将该中心关闭以进行为期两年翻新工程的计划，该工程原定于7月4日启动。特朗普政府已要求联邦上诉法院暂停该命令。
比蒂的律师本周在一份提交给美国哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院的文件中称，遮盖这座已故总统约翰·F·肯尼迪名字的“半永久性遮盖布”，似乎是特朗普政府“试图破坏更名前原状恢复”的举动。
比蒂称这种遮盖外立面的行为是“卑劣的挑衅行为”。

WASHINGTON, June 24 (Reuters) – A federal judge on Wednesday ordered U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration to explain why it placed a tarp over the Kennedy Center’s façade after the Republican leader’s name was removed from the building under a court order.
U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper said the administration must report by July 31 “the purpose and status of the tarp and scaffolding” now in place at the iconic building.

The tarp was installed as workers stripped Trump’s name in a predawn operation this month following an order from Cooper that the Trump administration unlawfully added his name to the facade in December.
The White House and Kennedy Center did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
In a lawsuit brought by Democratic Representative Joyce Beatty, a Kennedy Center board member, the judge last month ordered the removal of Trump’s name from the Washington theater complex’s signage and blocked his plans to close it for two years of renovations starting July 4. The Trump administration has asked a federal appeals court to put that order on hold.
Beatty’s lawyers this week in a filing told the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit that the “semi-permanent tarp” obscuring the late President John F. Kennedy’s name from public view at the center appears to be the Trump administration’s “effort to frustrate the restoration of the status quo as it existed prior to the renaming.”
Beatty called the obstruction of the facade an “act of petty defiance.”
