Trump admin seizes DC's busiest public golf course with no warning

The Trump administration abruptly took over East Potomac Golf Links, Washington's busiest public golf course, citing routine maintenance and tree work as justification.

The Interior Department provided no advance notice to National Links Trust, the nonprofit operator, or explanation to golfers and city officials, as reported by the Washington Post.

Course operations experts dismissed the maintenance claim as implausible, noting the 124-year-old facility's three separate tracks allow isolated work without full closure.
