WASHINGTON - A federal judge has ordered a new hearing on the Trump administration's plans for a site in Washington, DC, after President Trump said he would press ahead with redevelopment despite a court ruling halting it, The Hill reported.
According to The Hill, U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes granted a preliminary injunction requested by a preservationist group. The outlet reported that Trump posted on social media this week vowing to proceed with his plans for the property, and that the new hearing concerns those plans. The Hill's report was written by Dominick Mastrangelo.
ABC News reported that Judge Anna Reyes criticized the government and concluded that the administration likely violated environmental laws in its plans for the East Potomac Golf Course. The ABC News report is available in full on its website.
The two reports differ in some details. ABC News spells the judge's first name Anna, while The Hill spells it Ana. The Hill refers to the site as East Potomac Park, and ABC News refers to the East Potomac Golf Course. The summaries available for this story do not say whether the two names describe the same land.
The summaries also do not give a date for the new hearing. Neither summary includes a direct quotation from the judge. Beyond the social media post described by The Hill, the summaries do not describe any response from the administration to the judge's ruling.
