Alina Habba Alleges Missing Kennedy Center Donation Under Ric Grenell

Former Trump attorney Alina Habba has told President Trump that a multimillion-dollar donation to the Kennedy Center, made by her billionaire husband a year ago, was never deposited during Ric Grenell's tenure as the institution's leader. The allegation, reported by Axios on October 14, 2026, centers on Grenell, a former top Trump adviser who previously served as Kennedy Center president. Habba claims the funds went missing under his watch. The dispute adds to internal MAGA tensions over the management of the performing arts venue in Washington, D.C. No further details about the donation amount, the donor's identity, or any official response from Grenell or the Kennedy Center were provided in the source. The story was first reported by Axios.
