Biden judge walks back order against Trump DOJ after DC golf course hearing
Just hours after issuing what a Trump administration lawyer called an “untenable” command from the bench, a federal judge withdrew her order that would have forced the Department of Justice to refile a court brief with the names of career attorneys who agreed with it, reversing course Monday after a court hearing about golf course renovations stretched beyond six hours.
TL;DR
- Federal Judge Ana Reyes withdrew her order for the DOJ to refile a court brief.
- The original order required identification of career attorneys who agreed with the brief.
- The judge reversed her decision after a court hearing on golf course renovations that lasted over six hours.
- A Trump administration lawyer had deemed the original command "untenable."
