The Republican-dominated committee said a ‘component of the proposal that provides funding for repairs and maintenance needs at the Kennedy Center was requested by the president.’

‘President Trump cares deeply about American arts and culture, which is why he is revitalizing historic institutions like the Kennedy Center to their former greatness,’ said a White House spokeswoman.
