Kennedy Center to pay $250,000 legal fees of jazz musician who protested Trump takeover

The Kennedy Center has agreed to cover $250,000 in legal fees for jazz musician Chuck Redd, who refused to perform at the annual Christmas Eve concert following the Trump administration's takeover of the institution. The organization had sued Redd for backing out of the engagement, but a judge dismissed the suit in June. The case drew wide attention as a symbol of artistic resistance to political changes at the Kennedy Center.
