Summary

The Justice Department asked Judge Ana C. Reyes to recuse herself from a lawsuit over the removal of trees at a National Mall golf course in East Potomac Park. The move follows a Monday hearing where Reyes ordered senior Trump administration officials to testify about whether President Trump prompted the tree-cutting to rebuild the course. The DOJ accused her of 'egregious' conduct.
