Judge blasts Trump's DOJ over 'inexcusable' tree removal at DC golf course

A US judge said on Monday that she was "furious" with Justice Department lawyers for ​their conduct in a lawsuit seeking to halt the Trump administration's takeover of a historic golf course in Washington, saying it was "inexcusable" that hundreds ‌of trees were removed from the course over the weekend.
"More than being upset and furious right now, I am just deeply disappointed in the government," US District Judge Ana Reyes in Washington told government lawyers during a court hearing. "On what universe did anyone in your office think this was acceptable?"
