Incredible. DOJ, in court, tells Judge Reyes "no closure notice has been issued" for the East Potomac golf course. Moments later the judge is handed a note saying that closure signs are on parts of the golf course today.

There's a reason the presumption of regularity is gone.

Judge asks Trump Admin lawyer if the Administration plans on closing the golf course anytime soon

Admin lawyer says "no closure notice has been issued... but it's still under consideration at this point"

Plaintiff interjects, "I didn't hear a 'NO', your honor!"

Trump Admin attorney is using a lot of passive voice arguments about the East Potomac Golf course.. & allegations it'll be seized by Team Trump

"No closure notice has been issued"

"Regulations will be followed"

"There's been no identification by the teams requiring closure"

Judge is given a note. She reads it: "It looks like there were signs on the golf course that there were closures"
