A day after she admonished lawyers for the Department of Interior and National Park Service for violating a court order regarding cutting down trees at the municipal golf course, U.S. district court judge Ana Reyes ordered all remaining efforts to be stopped at East Potomac. The move comes as Reyes considers a lawsuit challenging the Trump Administration’s handling of the Washington D.C. property, as President Trump wants to remake the course to potentially host major championship golf. After originally ordering the government to get court approval before cutting down more than 10 trees, lawyers from the administration said at least 430 trees were removed over the weekend with little notice.
