A federal judge overseeing a legal fight over President Donald Trump’s plans to remake Washington, D.C.’s East Potomac Golf Links said Friday she would investigate whether administration officials misled the court and violated professional ethics rules during the proceedings.
U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes said the inquiry would examine whether Interior Department officials, government attorneys, and Justice Department lawyers acted in bad faith as the administration sought to move forward with its plans to overhaul the public golf course.
