Federal Judge Orders Ethics Probe as Trump Administration Files $304M Plan for D.C. Golf Course
The Trump administration has submitted a formal proposal to the National Capital Planning Commission to overhaul East Potomac Golf Links, including a $304.5 million seawall and a new championship course. Simultaneously, Judge Ana Reyes appointed a special master to investigate whether Justice Department officials lied to the court regarding the project's timeline and scope. The administration plans to close the current course on November 15, a move that has sparked intense legal battles, public protests, and allegations of ethical violations by federal attorneys.
