NEW: Rep. Beatty is challenging the Kennedy Center's invocation of the qualified "presidential communications privilege" in refusing to turn over a vast array of communications with Trump & even documents "touching on" Trump communications during discovery. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

When Defendants filed their motion to vacate the preliminary injunction and for summary
judgment, they initially relied on evidence of what Trump told Defendant Matthew Floca. See,
e.g., Defs.'s Mem. in Supp. of Mot. 4, ECF 88-1; Defs.'s Statement of Undisputed Material Facts 14, ECF No. 89-2; see also Suppl. Decl. Charles Matthew Floca 1 6, ECF No. 29-3. But after
1
Case 1:25-cv-04480-CRC Document 96
Filed 10/05/26
Page 2 of 25
Plaintiff served written discovery, the Department of Justice pivoted to a sweeping claim of
presidential communications privilege to bar any inquiry into those communications, or indeed
into any inputs and instructions the Kennedy Center's staff received from its board chair. The
Department now refuses to provide any documents held by the Kennedy Center even touching on
communications between the Chairman and management and intends to block all inquiry into those
communications in depositions. Plaintiff does not bring this motion lightly. The Department's sweeping assertion of privilege, however, appears to be unprecedented. Donald Trump is the chair of a non-profit corporation's board, and his decisions and directions lie at the heart of that board's
actions which, in turn, are the subject matter of this case. Allowing Defendants to hide behind this unwarranted assertion of privilege would obstruct the search for the truth, frustrate the Court's discovery order, and undermine public confidence in these important proceedings.

Having appointed himself to the Kennedy Center's board and having assumed the office
of Chair, Donald Trump undertook the obligations placed on him by the Center's organic statute
to safeguard and protect this sacred memorial to a fallen President. Trustee and board chair are
not roles that must be performed by the President of the United States and, indeed, never have been

Case 1:25-cv-04480-CRC Document 96 Filed 10/05/26

in the Center's history before now. Nor are the staff at the Kennedy Center anything like the close presidential advisers whose conversations executive privilege protects. The Court should not
permit Defendants to evade accountability as trustees by abusing a privilege constructed for other
purposes, not the chairmanship of this non-profit entity. Plaintiff therefore respectfully requests the Court compel the production of responsive documents and written production Defendants improperly withheld.

When a campaign to ban abortions and violate women’s rights to control their own bodies in Missouri launched its first TV ad last month, the commercial made no mention of restricting women’s rights. Instead, it focused entirely on the state’s transgender community-as Nazi Germany did in the 1930s
