The Daily Beast, The New Republic and HuffPost report that President Donald Trump posted a batch of photographs on Truth Social overnight showing debris, fencing and flooding at the East Potomac Golf Links in Washington, D.C. The posts called one overgrown area “Trash Island” and urged U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes to study them. The outlets say Reyes, appointed by President Joe Biden, has handled a lawsuit over the administration’s plan to renovate the course. The New Republic says she blocked tree felling there last week. HuffPost reports that the administration has admitted using the site to dump debris from the East Wing demolition.
