Lawyers representing Donald Trump in his battle to keep his name on the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts threw a new wrinkle at the court on Tuesday.
According to a report from The Atlantic, Department of Justice lawyers representing the Kennedy Center on Tuesday urged a federal appeals court to restore Donald Trumps name to the institution, warning it puts in jeopardy hundreds of millions of dollars in gifts and pledges belonging to an "entity, unheard-of until this month, called the Trump Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Foundation."
The foundation emerged suddenly, raising immediate red flags and catching many by surprise.

Either this story is a scam, or the Department of Justice is no longer representing "the people" in any way.
