Trump Submits DC Golf Course Plan for December Review as Judge Probes Alleged Deception

Summary
A concept plan for Trump’s East Potomac golf course overhaul was submitted to court Tuesday and is headed to the National Capital Planning Commission’s December meeting.
The filing lands as Judge Ana Reyes investigates whether Trump officials misled her by saying no closure was imminent while Trump publicly said redevelopment would shut the course on Nov. 15.
The plan could also reach the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts as soon as this month; both review bodies are led by Trump appointees who have backed other Washington projects.
East Potomac had been managed by National Links Trust under a 50-year lease until the administration moved last year to reclaim the course, while the nonprofit kept operating Washington’s other two NPS courses.
