Judge opens inquiry into DOJ over Trump plan to close East Potomac golf course

Federal Judge Ana Reyes is opening an investigation into whether Department of Justice attorneys misled the court regarding Donald Trump's plans to close the historic East Potomac Park Golf Course. Government lawyers initially claimed no closure plan existed before later acknowledging the administration directed a shutdown set for Nov. 15, prompting the judge to halt further tree removal and plan the appointment of a special master as community members fight to preserve the public park.
