Judge admonishes Trump administration over plans for Washington, DC, golf course

Judge admonishes Trump administration over Washington DC golf course plans.

What happened: A federal judge ordered Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward back to court to clarify whether his statements that there were no plans to close East Potomac Golf Course remain accurate, after President Trump posted that the course will close Nov. Why it matters: Judge Ana Reyes concluded the administration likely violated the National Environmental Policy Act and said the case now turns on reconciling sworn administration statements with Trump's posts. Trump said he will immediately appeal and called the judge's request for updates unconstitutional. Coverage: 3 outlets in 24h
