A $100,000 five-year certificate of deposit (CD) could generate more than $23,700 in interest for savers who lock away their money until maturity in 2031.

A federal judge has ruled that the Kennedy Center board cannot restore Donald Trump’s name to the Washington arts complex or rename its grounds the “President Donald J. Trump Plaza”. US District Judge Christopher Cooper said the board’s decision conflicted with both an earlier court order and legislation establishing the building as a living memorial to John F.
