“TRUMP CAN’T DESTROY OUR PUBLIC PARK!” Norm Eisen Takes on Trump Over Controversial Golf Course Plan

Well, as Norm Eisen from Democracy Defenders, part of the golf course team, what we saw today was the continuation of a profoundly concerning course of conduct. It's eminently clear from all of the evidence in the record, from everything we've seen so far, that there is a final plan. To build a monstrous golf course in the historic East Potomac Park on top of toxic dirt and debris dumped from the illegal destruction of the East Wing of the White House. The plan has not been honestly represented in our view by the government. The judge is troubled, and rightly so, by these... Misrepresentations that appear to have been made and has appointed a special master to look into the matter. It's an extraordinary course of conduct, but it's part of a larger pattern by this administration that we see in case after case of dissimulation. So we and our fantastic partners at Democracy Forward, Lowell & Associates, are going to We're going to continue to press forward. To put a stop to this illegal destruction of East Potomac Park. All of this kind of investigation by the police, I have not heard of it. It does happen. We just had a special master appointed in Los Angeles. I was there. In court, in our case where we successfully shut down the Department of Justice request for a TRO to enforce their junk list of 20,000 supposed unauthorized voters, there the court also appointed a special master to probe the conduct involved in constructing that. Inaccurate list, but it's very rare. And it is an ominous sign for the United States that the judge is appointing somebody to look into these profoundly troubling questions, including the accuracy or inaccuracy of what the United States has been saying in its filings and to the court. Well, I'm not going to get out in front of the judge. We're going to have a special master. We are going to continue to vigorously litigate the case with our partners on behalf of our clients. We believe that everything that is happening with respect to East Potomac Park is illegal. The tree takedown was illegal. The president's plan to put a horrendous Trump-style golf course to jam that into this historic... Links and Family Park, where people of all ages, all income levels can come and play. It's wrong. It's against the law. It's part of a larger pattern of attacks on our monuments and our memorials that have repeatedly been found to be in violation of the law. I succeeded in this same courthouse in getting Donald Trump's name stripped from the Kennedy Center. I proudly represented an American hero, three-time Olympian, many-time world champion Davey Hearn. He was wrongly blamed, criminally prosecuted, an innocent man to scapegoat for the Trump administration's failures. Cheers, and it's BUSH! Rushed, botched renovation of the reflecting pool. And we've seen this again, this pattern again and again. Now the special master is going to probe what went wrong here. And that's a welcome development.
