 Former Kennedy Center employees allege leadership delayed roof repairs before citing safety issues in closure decision Former Kennedy Center employees allege that the venue’s leadership knew about serious structural problems well before citing newly discovered hazards as the reason for its abrupt closure this month. The claims were outlined in a letter to Congress from a lawyer representing anonymous whistleblowers. The letter accuses the center’s executive director and chief operating officer, Matt Floca, of failing to prioritize roof repairs and stopping a funded repair plan in April. Floca disputes the allegations, saying recent inspections revealed that water damage had spread farther into the building than officials previously knew. In a September court declaration, Floca cited “acute risks to public safety” following an inspection that found deterioration in a roof terrace canopy and a partial ceiling collapse.

SEAN STRICKLAND FORCIBLY REMOVED FROM UFC WHITE HOUSE EVENT BY SECRET SERVICE. (PHOTO).



Sean Strickland forcibly removed from UFC White House event by Secret Service


UFC Middleweight Champion Sean Strickland was removed from the UFC Freedom 250 Fan Fest at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., after showing up despite claiming he had been excluded from the White House event. 


Strickland later clarified on Instagram that he was not arrested but suggested he might face a disorderly conduct charge, which in D.C. carries penalties of up to 90 days in jail or a $500 fine. 


His presence drew immediate hostility from the pro-Trump crowd, with chants of “USA” erupting before Secret Service agents escorted him out.


Strickland had been vocal in the weeks leading up to the event, insisting that his exclusion was politically motivated due to his outspoken criticism of Trump’s ties to Israel and Jeffrey Epstein. 


He mocked the event online, even parodying a famous photo of Trump at the Western Wall. UFC CEO Dana White disputed Strickland’s claims, saying the decision was simply due to limited capacity, but Strickland remained unconvinced and vowed to show up regardless. 


True to his word, he arrived with his championship belt, drawing boos from spectators before being removed.


The incident added to the drama of an already chaotic day, as severe weather delayed the fights by an hour. 


The Freedom 250 card, headlined by Ilia Topuria’s lightweight title defense against Justin Gaethje, was designed to serve both as a major UFC showcase and a birthday tribute to President Trump on his 80th birthday. 


Strickland’s removal underscored the political and cultural tensions surrounding the event, which blended sports spectacle with partisan symbolism.
