Judge opens misconduct inquiry into Trump officials in golf course case
U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes said she will conduct a formal inquiry into whether government officials engaged in misconduct.
What the coverage shows
All five outlets center on Judge Ana Reyes launching some kind of inquiry into whether Trump administration officials or lawyers misled the court in the golf course case. Axios is the most specific about a special master and names both Justice and Interior Department officials, while the New York Times says the outside investigator will help determine whether parks officials or Justice Department lawyers withheld plans. The Independent alone foregrounds Reyes’s rebuke of DOJ lawyers, and CBS News frames it as a formal misconduct inquiry.
