Judge refuses DOJ’s demand to step aside from golf course hearing
- On Sunday, U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes denied the Trump administration's motion to recuse her from overseeing litigation over tree-clearing at the East Potomac Golf Course.
- The Department of the Interior sought her removal after she blocked tree removal at the park last week, accusing Reyes of 'histrionics' and bias against the administration.
- Administration lawyers cited her remarks regarding Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's schedule and her questioning of government attorneys' intelligence as evidence of judicial bias.
- Reyes dismissed the motion as 'baseless,' noting she had denied plaintiffs' requests for relief nearly a dozen times before intervening in the case.
- Following his Sunday announcement to redevelop the course for major tournaments, Trump attacked Reyes on Truth Social without using her name, escalating the conflict.
