Federal Judge Temporarily Halts Trump’s Washington Golf Course Redevelopment
A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order blocking President Trump's planned redevelopment of East Potomac Golf Links, a historic public golf course near the White House. The order halts work ahead of the course's scheduled 15-month closure, following a legal challenge by preservation groups and local golfers concerned about public access and affordability. The Justice Department cited safety and lease expiration as reasons for closure. The redevelopment is part of several projects Trump supports to reshape Washington, D.C.
