The Kennedy Center released a statement on Saturday in response to President Donald Trump's baseless claim that he fired the organization's chairman and took over.

"We have received no official communications from the White House regarding changes to our board of trustees. We are aware that some members of our board have received termination notices from the administration," it said.

Trump's claim is baseless as the federal law governing the Kennedy Center states, "The Board shall appoint and fix the compensation and duties of a Chairperson of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, who shall serve as the chief executive officer of the Center, and a Secretary of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The Chairperson and Secretary shall be well qualified by experience and training to perform the duties of their respective offices."

The Kennedy Center also noted federal funding covers roughly 16% of the total operating budget.

"Support for the Center’s artistic programming comes from ticket sales, donations, rental income, and other revenue sources," it said.

A federal judge in New York granted the states suing over DOGE a temporary restraining order.

“The Court’s firm assessment is that, for the reasons stated by the States, they will face irreparable harm in the absence of injunctive relief. That is both because of the risk that the new policy presents of the disclosure of sensitive and confidential information and the heightened risk that the systems in question will be more vulnerable than before to hacking,” Judge Paul Engelmayer wrote.

New York Attorney General Letitia James hailed the decision on X.

“This morning, we won a court order blocking Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, from accessing Americans’ private data. Musk and his DOGE employees must destroy all records they've obtained.”

The South African government released a statement Saturday in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive order, saying “this order lacks factual accuracy and fails to recognise South Africa’s profound and painful history of colonialism and apartheid.”

“It is ironic that the executive order makes provision for refugee status in the U.S. for a group in South Africa that remains amongst the most economically privileged, while vulnerable people in the U.S. from other parts of the world are being deported and denied asylum despite real hardship,” the South African government said in the statement.

In addition to the four media outlets ordered to vacate their workspace in the building by Valentine's Day, the Pentagon announced four more this evening.

Last Friday, the Pentagon issued a memo signed by DOD spokesman John Ullyot announcing an "annual media rotation program."

Last week’s memo specified The New York Times, NBC News, National Public Radio and Politico would be swapped with the New York Post, One America News Network, Breitbart News Network and HuffPost.

In reaction to the memo, leaders from several outlets with reporters who work at the Pentagon came to the building on Wednesday to raise questions and concerns with Ullyot directly.

Ullyot responded to the meeting by doubling down on the initial policy, issuing a new memo ordering four more media outlets to vacate their workspace at the Pentagon, setting a new deadline for all eight to vacate by February 21.

Friday night’s memo said The Washington Post, CNN, The Hill and The War Zone were being swapped with The Washington Examiner, Newsmax, The Free Press and The Daily Caller.

The memo noted that while the outlets' workspaces are being revoked, as is the prerogative of the secretary of defense, the reporters affected will maintain their building access and ability to attend briefings, and will still be considered for trips.

A few facts that caused immediate confusion among the resident press corps was Breitbart and Washington Examiner have had dedicated space for years in the Pentagon.

The War Zone, which is being ordered to vacate its workspace, has never had existing workspace in the Pentagon and Newsmax was already in the process of transitioning into a space offered by the existing press corps before President Donald Trump took office.
