A federal judge has blocked President Donald Trump's plan to close East Potomac Park, the historic Washington golf course, hours before it was due to shut on Sunday. Judge Ana Reyes ruled late on Saturday that the park must stay open through November 28, calling the administration's safety reasons pretextual. The Trump administration had planned a fifteen-month closure to rebuild the course as a championship venue, but the judge said the closure would irreparably harm Washingtonians who use the park every day. The Justice Department says it will keep defending the plan in court.
