A US federal judge pressed Trump administration officials on Monday regarding President Donald Trump’s plan to shut down and renovate East Potomac Park next month, The Hill and the Winnipeg Free Press reported. The legal battle centers on Trump’s plans to renovate the golf course at the public park in Washington.

According to the reports, the judge questioned the federal government in light of an existing court order barring future work on the property while a lawsuit to halt the project plays out. Trump posted about the issue on his Truth Social platform just minutes before the court hearing began. Further details on the proceedings have not yet been released.
