Judge extends ban on tree-cutting at DC golf course through Oct. 26

U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes extended her order barring the Trump administration from removing more trees at East Potomac Golf Links, blocking further work until at least October 26. The ruling follows a hearing over the removal of hundreds of trees last weekend and seeks testimony from Interior Department officials about whether they defied an earlier court order. Trump has sought to redevelop the course into a championship-level venue.
