Judge chastises DOJ after 430 trees cut down at D.C. golf course
Government lawyers said 430 trees were cut down at East Potomac Golf Links on Saturday.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets focus on Judge Ana Reyes rebuking Trump DOJ lawyers over tree cutting at East Potomac Golf Links, and all three tie the story to hundreds of trees being removed. The Hill foregrounds the judge’s scolding and the lack of notice, CBS News centers the count of 430 trees, and The Independent is the only one to add preservationists’ language about “pet vanity projects.”
