Judge hears testimony in legal fight over Trump's golf course renovation plans at East Potomac Park
U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes questioned whether the tree cutting was tied to Trump’s redevelopment plan and kept the project paused pending testimony.
- On Monday, District Judge Ana Reyes expressed deep skepticism at a Federal Courthouse hearing regarding the government's claim that mass tree removal and redevelopment plans at East Potomac Park were unconnected.
- Reyes previously ordered a halt to the project until at least Oct 26 after criticizing the government for starting large-scale tree removal over a holiday weekend without court notice.
- Describing the project as a key feature of President Donald Trump's campaign to leave his personal imprint, Reyes stated, "There is no universe in which all of this coincidentally happened."
- Trump announced on Sunday plans to close the course for 15 months starting Nov 15, despite an active court challenge by the Preservation League and two golfers.
- Citing irreversible damage to the 106-year-old park, attorneys for the plaintiffs have asked the court to extend the temporary halt beyond Oct 26.
