Judge May Probe Trump Administration Lawyers Over DC Golf Course Case

A plan to transform a public golf course in Washington, D.C., into a massive redevelopment project has triggered a legal battle involving allegations of government attorney misconduct.

The proposed overhaul would significantly expand the footprint of the current facility, potentially stretching the course to more than 8,000 yards, The Hill reported.

The project, which seeks to turn a “shabby” public course into a centerpiece of a larger D.C. makeover, is now moving into a phase of intense investigation into the administrative processes used to advance it. A judge is expected to appoint a former U.S. attorney to investigate possible ethical violations by lawyers within the Trump administration regarding the case, Politico reported.

The Independent reported that the DOJ tried to hide who on his staff worked on the D.C. golf course, a move that a judge rejected.

The scrutiny focuses on whether government attorneys adhered to professional standards during the redevelopment. The investigation may be conducted by a former Trump-appointed prosecutor, according to Politico, and aims to determine if there were ethical breaches in how the administration handled the legal aspects of the golf course project.

The proposed expansion to an 8,000‑yard length would represent a major increase in the course’s size, as noted by The Hill.
