Rep. Joyce Beatty mistakenly blamed Trump for Kennedy Center snub
USA TODAY
Rep. Joyce Beatty's lawsuit against President Donald Trump over the Kennedy Center took a wrong turn when her meeting invite turned up in spam.
Rep. Joyce Beatty made an unfortunate blunder ahead of a court hearing in her battle with President Donald Trump over the fate of the Kennedy Center.
The Ohio Democrat and Kennedy Center board member sued Trump and other board members in December over their efforts to rename the center after Trump and close it for renovations. Beatty was seeking a restraining order to make sure she could attend a board meeting and oppose the plan to close the center for two years. The case was set to go before a federal judge on the afternoon of March 12.
Ahead of the hearing, Beatty accused Trump in court filings of not inviting her to a Kennedy Center board meeting planned for next week at the White House. Department of Justice lawyers countered in court filings that she was invited to the board meeting.
As first reported by The Hill, the invite landed in her inbox's spam folder, her attorneys later confirmed in a follow-up court filing.
"Upon further investigation, it appears that the email regarding the Board meeting was routed to Plaintiff’s spam folder," Beatty's attorneys wrote.
