Donald Trump May Have a New Problem on the Green as Judge Calls In His Former Ally to Expose His D.C. Plot

A federal judge is seeking answers from the Trump administration over its plans to redevelop East Potomac Golf Links in Washington, D.C., amid concerns officials may have given misleading information to the court. Hundreds of trees have been cut at the historic public course, and the administration plans a roughly 15-month closure for renovations aimed at creating a championship venue. The proposed work has drawn opposition from local golfers and environmental advocates.
