Summary

A federal judge, Ana C. Reyes, questioned Interior Department lawyers Monday about plans to shut down and renovate East Potomac Golf Links next month, despite a prior court order limiting tree removal. The Justice Department clashed with Reyes over testimony from government witnesses about the decision-making process. Trump called the judge a "crazed lunatic" on social media and said construction would begin "immediately."
