Lawyers Argue Lawsuits Against Trump, Kennedy Center Board in D.C. Hearings

Lawyers presented arguments in two lawsuits challenging President Trump's control over the Kennedy Center — one filed by Rep. Joyce Beatty seeking removal of Trump's name from the building, and another by preservation groups opposing its closure for renovations. Both hearings before Judge Christopher Cooper centered on whether Trump violated laws requiring congressional approval for changes to the federally-owned memorial to JFK. The plaintiffs argue a comprehensive renovation plan has not been submitted to Congress despite $257 million in federal funding that must be spent by 2029.

Preservation Groups Sue to Block Kennedy Center Renovations

Cultural and historic preservation organizations are suing to block President Trump from proceeding with major renovations at the Kennedy Center, seeking a preliminary injunction ahead of the July 6 construction start date. The groups argue the president and board may violate historic preservation rules, while Justice Department attorneys say the plans are within the board's authority. This marks the second lawsuit challenging the renovations, with Rep. Joyce Beatty also suing as an ex officio board member.

Powell to stay on Fed board after chair term ends, defying Trump on rate cuts

Fed Chair Jerome Powell announced he will remain on the rate-setting board after his term ends May 15, defying Trump demands for rate cuts. The Fed held interest rates unchanged for the third time this year, citing elevated inflation and slow job growth. Meanwhile, the Senate banking committee confirmed Kevin Warsh as Powell's potential successor, who is expected to be more amenable to Trump's rate cut calls. Powell cited ongoing investigations into Fed renovations as reason to stay.

Hong Kong Fire Survivors Return to Collect Belongings as Investigation Continues

Residents of Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po, Hong Kong, returned on Saturday to collect belongings from their fire-damaged flats, five months after a deadly blaze killed 168 people, with 81 deaths occurring in one residential block. Ian Chu, a resident of Wang Cheong House where most deaths occurred, captured photos of the sea view from his flat facing Tolo Harbour before returning. The fire spread rapidly due to substandard netting used by contractors during renovations. Authorities allowed residents from two blocks a three-hour visit under a 15-day programme.

DOJ Drops Criminal Investigation Against Fed Chair Powell, Clearing Path for Trump Nominee Warsh

The US Department of Justice is dropping its criminal investigation into Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell regarding renovations at the Fed headquarters that went over budget. Trump-appointed US Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced she directed her office to close the investigation, clearing the path for Kevin Warsh, Trump's nominee to replace Powell, to be confirmed. The investigation, first made public in January, drew bipartisan criticism with Senator Thom Tillis blocking Warsh's nomination until it ended. Powell had called the investigation 'pretexts' meant to pressure the central bank to lower interest rates.

Justice Department Ends Probe Into Fed Chair Powell, Clearing Path for Successor Warsh

The US Justice Department has ended its investigation into Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell regarding extensive building renovations at the Fed's headquarters. US Attorney Jeannine Pirro announced the decision on Friday, stating the Fed's inspector general would handle scrutiny instead. The decision clears a major obstacle for Kevin Warsh's confirmation as Powell's successor, with Powell's term expiring May 15. A judge had previously quashed subpoenas, noting prosecutors produced essentially zero evidence of a crime.

Hong Kong Fire Chief Defends Department Role Amid Investigation Into Deadly Blaze That Killed 168

Hong Kong's fire services chief Andy Yeung Yan-kin has acknowledged that better communication with building authorities is needed after an independent committee revealed his officers took no action against possible safety breaches during renovations at Wang Fuk Court, where 168 people died in last year's fire. The committee chairman pointed out that the Buildings Department may not be able to identify all fire hazards at construction sites.
