Trump says DC golf course ‘restoration’ to start despite judge’s order to pause plans

Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that restoration work on the East Potomac Park golf course in Washington, D.C., will begin on November 15, despite a federal judge’s recent order to halt construction. The project, which Trump claims is a ‘restoration,’ faces legal opposition after U.S.

District Judge Ana Reyes issued a ruling earlier this year requiring government notification before any major construction could proceed. Last week, Reyes extended her injunction, stopping the removal of trees at the historic site, calling the deforestation ‘inexcusable.’ The judge has demanded the government confirm by 8 p.m.

ET on Sunday whether its position has changed since a previous court filing made on Friday.
