Sudan City Loses Power After Drone Attacks

· Fact-checked before it aired. Unconfirmed claims from this segment are not shown.

U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes opened a formal inquiry on October 30 into whether Trump administration and DOJ officials misled her court over the planned November 15 closure and redevelopment of East Potomac Golf Links. The Justice Department confirmed the closure to the court on October 28, nine days after telling the court it was unaware of any closure plans. Reyes also learned the government had submitted the redesign plan to the National Capital Planning Commission without notifying her. The National Park Service had already cut down hundreds of trees on the course, escalating the legal fight by preservationists and local golfers.

President Trump has repeatedly pushed to turn the public course into a championship-level venue. The central question is when the administration began implementing the closure plan, which matters in a lawsuit seeking to block the renovation. Reyes is examining whether officials acted in bad faith or violated ethics rules.
