Judge won’t stop East Potomac Golf Links plans, but she’s not throwing the case out
A federal judge declined to halt the Trump administration's plans for East Potomac Golf Links but also did not dismiss the lawsuit challenging the project. The D.C. Preservation League and two local golfers argue the administration bypassed required environmental reviews, while government attorneys stated no contracts have been signed and the project must still undergo necessary steps. The judge questioned a Sept. 1 start date mentioned by President Trump and raised concerns about testing of demolition debris moved to the park.
