Judge Reyes Defies DOJ, Orders Testimony in Trump Golf Course Clash
U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes rejected a recusal request from Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward and ordered a marathon hearing to determine who authorized the removal of hundreds of trees at East Potomac Golf Links. The dispute centers on President Trump's plan to convert the public course into a PGA-level venue, a move that has triggered a constitutional clash between the White House and the judiciary.
