Judge opens inquiry into Trump administration’s handling of East Potomac golf course case

U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes has opened a formal inquiry to determine if Interior Department officials and government attorneys misled the court or violated professional ethics rules regarding the East Potomac Golf Links. This legal fight involves President Donald Trump's plans to remake the Washington, D.C. course. While Trump posted that the public course would close for 15 months, his own officials initially could not confirm it, though the Justice Department later filed notice that the plans were real.
