A federal judge issued a restraining order blocking further tree removal at a historic golf course the president plans to remake in Washington, after the Trump administration waited until nearly 5 p.m. on Friday to notify the court before removing hundreds of trees over the weekend.
In an emergency hearing on Oct. 12, Judge Ana C. Reyes of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia said she was “furious” at the Justice Department, which she said “lost all credibility” by not notifying her of the removal sooner. The order prevents further tree removal until Oct. 13 at 2 p.m. ET.
