- People attending the meeting told multiple media outlets that the board approved naming the building The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Restored and Renovated by President Donald J. Trump.
- The board again approved closing the center for up to two years for renovations, with operations expected to shift to the REACH during that period.
- U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled in May that Congress alone could change the name and temporarily blocked the earlier Trump-Kennedy Center renaming and closure plans.
- Ohio Democrat Joyce Beatty, who is challenging Trump’s changes in court, characterized the latest step as an attempt to evade the ruling and said she would keep fighting it.
Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it.— U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, in ruling on Beatty's lawsuit challenging the changes

- The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) granted preliminary approval on Friday for a national trust bank, subject to certain regulatory and policy requirements.
- World Liberty Financial was launched in 2024 by Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and several partners.
- The review drew concern from lawmakers and watchdogs over possible conflicts of interest, while Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized the approval as an especially brazen act of self-dealing.
- Reuters reported that, if finalized, the charter could allow WLF to issue USD1 directly and custody the underlying US dollar assets currently handled by BitGo.
this is the most brazen act of self-dealing our financial system has ever seen.— Elizabeth Warren, U.S. Senator (D-MA) and top Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, in a social media post reacting to the OCC's decision.
