US President Donald Trump said renovation work at Washington's East Potomac Golf Links would begin Nov. 15, with the course expected to reopen in about 15 months. The announcement comes amid a lawsuit by the DC Preservation League and two golfers over environmental and historic preservation concerns. US District Judge Ana Reyes has ordered the administration to provide notice before substantive construction and halted tree removal at the site. The administration has asked Reyes to step aside and transfer the case to another judge, while the plaintiffs are seeking a longer-lasting preliminary injunction or stay. Trump had earlier said work would begin in September.
