A federal judge on Sunday denied the Trump administration's motion to remove her from a lawsuit over East Potomac Golf Course.
Why it matters: The administration accused Reyes of hostility toward its lawyers and favoritism toward plaintiffs led by the DC Preservation League. Reyes rejected each claim by citing hearing transcripts.
Where they split: The government says Reyes's conduct shows bias against it, while Reyes says the full record shows she ruled for it repeatedly until it moved to cut trees with little notice.
Left coverage, 5 sources: The left sees a judge using the government's own courtroom record to rebut a recusal motion it presents as baseless.
What’s next: The temporary restraining order from the Oct. 12 hearing still blocks further work.
