Following a contentious court session, a federal judge has demanded clarity on the removal of hundreds of trees at East Potomac Golf Links. This development comes after a hearing where government lawyers faced criticism for allowing the removal of approximately 430 trees.
U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes has instructed two senior officials to take the stand next Monday. National Park Service Director Jessica Bowron and Gregory Wischer, the deputy chief of staff at the Interior Department, must explain the process that supported the Trump administration’s plan for tree removal and the reasons behind the rapid execution by work crews.
