A federal judge in Washington, D.C., has ordered the Kennedy Center to pay $252,479.70 in legal fees to musician Chuck Redd. The arts center had sued Redd after he canceled a Christmas Eve concert following the addition of President Donald Trump’s name to the building’s facade.

Superior Court Judge Tanya Jones Bosier dismissed the case in June, citing unlawful retaliation against Redd. In a Monday order, Bosier stated she conducted a “good faith evaluation of records to exclude hours that are arguably duplicative, excessive, or unnecessary” and determined the Kennedy Center owes Redd the legal fees accrued, to be paid within 45 days.

The Kennedy Center accused Redd of violating its “morals clause” after he publicly explained his cancellation, which the center described as an abuse of the public forum to make a political statement and deprive the public of the promised concert. The center also claimed damages from lost goodwill, wasted marketing expenses, and sunk costs related to the canceled event.

Redd was scheduled to host the center’s annual Christmas Eve Jazz Jam. The president’s name was removed from the Kennedy Center in June after a board member successfully argued the addition was illegal.

A Kennedy Center spokesperson said the organization intends to appeal the decision. Redd’s attorney, Banks, stated that the “Trump-controlled Kennedy Center tried to silence opposition to its illegal name change by filing a meritless lawsuit” and called the penalty “appropriate as no citizen should have to spend time and money fending off baseless and politically motivated lawsuits filed by the Trump Administration.”
