The Trump administration plans to close the East Potomac Golf Course and park Nov. 15 with the intention of renovating the facility.

The Trump administration plans to close the East Potomac Golf Course and park Nov. 15 with the intention of renovating the facility.

A federal judge said Saturday she intends to appoint an ex-top federal prosecutor in the nation’s capital during Donald Trump’s first term to investigate whether she was purposefully misled by lawyers and administration officials in a lawsuit challenging one of his prized Washington construction projects, the renovation of a historic public golf course along the Potomac River.

Jessie Liu, a former U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, would examine whether officials with the Interior Department and the National Park Service and attorneys with the Department of Justice violated ethics or misled U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes during the course of the case that was initiated in February by the DC Preservation League and two golfers.

      This is why I am happy to have the Dems kiss Trump’s butt for the next two years.

      Let’s give him as many wins as he wants.

      Once he’s out, there are so many cases against him at the state level that he’ll never get done with them all.

      El-Sayed said he’d be happy to call Meidcare For All ‘The Donald TrumpCare Bill.’

      I genuinely don’t understand how anyone can believe that still. By all means, I’m not trying to convince otherwise, and I’m happy that you have that hope. Just no clue how you have it.

        Did you not see the election results? If he lives long enough, he WILL go to prison. The American people will not accept anything less.

        Besides, if America ever wants to rehabilitate itself in the eyes if it’s citizens and the world, we must harshly crush MAGA, and purge it from our government and our society. We can never expect the rest of the world to trust us again if we leave MAGA alive to rise once again.

            Must you be young to be hopeful? We know that ALL social media is crawling with division bots that inflame all sides of every narrative. I’m trying to remind myself that when I feel cynical about the future, that’s my cue to log off.
