特朗普表示，他计划于11月15日关闭该球场。一名联邦法官下令司法部一名高级官员重返法庭，此前唐纳德·特朗普总统在其社交媒体账号上发文确认，东波托马克高尔夫球场将于11月15日关闭以进行翻新——这直接与政府官员上周在听证会上反复作出的断言相矛盾。
Trump said he plans to close the course Nov. 15. A federal judge has ordered a top Department of Justice official back into court after President Donald Trump posted on his social media account affirming that East Potomac Golf Course will close Nov. 15 for renovations — directly contradicting repeated assertions from administration officials in a hearing last week.
地区法官安娜·雷耶斯下令司法部副部长斯坦利·伍德沃德澄清，他此前向法庭陈述的“没有关闭球场的计划”是否仍然准确。
District Judge Ana Reyes has ordered Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward to clarify whether his prior statements to her that there were no plans to close the course remain accurate.
她进一步下令伍德沃德出席周五或周一的听证会，届时她预计将敦促政府就其遵守禁制令的情况提供更多最新进展，该禁制令禁止在东波托马克进行进一步建设。
She further ordered Woodward's attendance at a hearing either Friday or Monday where she is expected to press the government for more updates on its compliance with her injunction barring further construction at East Potomac.
在一份措辞严厉的70页裁决书中，雷耶斯批评特朗普政府对华盛顿特区这座历史悠久的高尔夫球场的规划，并认定政府在此过程中很可能违反了环境法。
In a sharply worded 70-page ruling, Reyes criticized the Trump administration over its plans for the historic golf course in Washington, D.C., and concluded the administration likely violated environmental laws in the process.
雷耶斯写道：“美国司法部极少（如果有的话）会敦促联邦法院不要相信在任总统。不要相信他关于一位内阁部长‘开发’了一个联邦土地项目的说法。不要相信他关于该部长的机构将摧毁已建在该土地上的历史高尔夫球场的说法。不要相信他关于‘修复工作’将‘立即开始！’的说法。不要相信他关于球场‘将关闭’一年多的说法。不要相信总统反复向美国公众所说的话。然而，我们就身处此境。”
"Rarely, if ever, has the United States Department of Justice urged a federal court not to believe the sitting President," Reyes wrote. "Not to believe him that a cabinet secretary has 'developed' a federal land project. Not to believe him that the secretary's agency will destroy a historic golf course already on the land.
雷耶斯表示，此案始于高尔夫和长跑，但现在已演变成一项努力，旨在协调政府成员的宣誓陈述与特朗普的陈述。
Not to believe him that 'Restoration work' will begin 'IMMEDIATELY!' Not to believe him that the course 'will be closed' for over a year. Not to believe what the President has repeatedly told the American public.
雷耶斯表示，政府必须“在对东波托马克公园的任何形式或特征进行任何不可挽回的修改前，提前十个工作日以书面形式通知，直至本诉讼结果出来为止”。
And yet, here we are." The case began over golf and long walks, Reyes said, but has now morphed into an effort to reconcile sworn statements made by members of the administration with statements made by Trump.
在听证会定于开始前几小时，总统已在社交媒体上发帖称，东波托马克高尔夫球场的建设将立即开始，尽管政府曾向法院表示不会这样做。
The administration must give "ten business days' written advance notice before making any irreparable modification to any forms or features of East Potomac Park, pending the outcome of this litigation," Reyes said. Hours before the hearing was set to start, the president had posted on social media that construction on East Potomac Golf Course would begin immediately, despite the administration suggesting to the court that it would not.
“如果正如司法部坚持的那样，特朗普总统是错的，伯格姆部长只需说一声就行，”雷耶斯写道。“他没有这么说。话虽如此，在目前这个阶段，原告负有举证责任，证明最终计划很可能存在。他们已经做到了。这一点不仅由总统和部长的许多帖子证实，也由政府的行动证实，其中不乏在几乎没有真正通知的情况下移除数百棵健康的、非入侵性的树木。”树木移除计划安排在一周前，但雷耶斯得出结论，参与诉讼的人几乎没有收到通知来制止砍伐。
"If, as DOJ insists, President Trump is wrong, Secretary Burgum can just say so," Reyes wrote. "He has not. That said, at this juncture Plaintiffs carry the burden of showing a final plan likely exists. They have done so. This is confirmed not just by the President's and Secretary's many posts, but also by the Government's actions, not the least of which is the removal of hundreds of healthy, non-invasive trees on no real notice." The tree removal had been scheduled a week earlier, but Reyes concluded that those involved in the lawsuit had little notice to stop the cutting.
她表示，政府还可能通过“分割”建设的环境影响，违反了环境法律——具体而言是《国家环境政策法》。
The administration also likely violated environmental laws — specifically the National Environmental Policy Act -- by "segmenting" the environmental impacts of the construction, she said.
特朗普表示，他的政府将对该裁决提出上诉，坚称他将按计划于11月15日关闭球场以启动项目。
Trump said his administration will appeal the ruling, insisting he will move forward with his plans to shut down the course on Nov. 15 to start the project.
“我们将按计划于11月15日关闭东波托马克高尔夫球场场地，以便出于竞争力（与其他此类项目相比！）、安全、现代化和美观原因进行翻新和重建，”特朗普在其社交媒体平台上深夜发帖写道。
"We are closing the East Potomac Golf Course Site as scheduled on November 15th in order to renovate and rebuild for Competitive (with other such projects!), Safety, Modernization, and Aesthetic reasons," Trump wrote on his social media platform overnight.
他说，法官要求提供更新的请求是“违宪的”。“我们认为该项目完全‘依权而行’，法官没有宪法赋予的权利‘要求或接收通知’，这些通知耗时、不必要、昂贵且违宪。我们将立即对该决定提出上诉，”特朗普写道。
He said the judge's request for updates is "unconstitutional." "We believe this Project is totally 'as of right,' and that the judge does not have the Constitutional Right to 'ask for or receive notices,' which are time-consuming, unnecessary, expensive, and unconstitutional. We will immediately appeal this decision," Trump wrote.
周六晚，特朗普在结束密西西比州集会后与记者举行了一场简报会。特朗普表示，他有“授权”进行翻修工作，并批评该法官是“高尔夫球场建筑评论家”。特朗普称：“这不是我的高尔夫球场，而是华盛顿特区正在建造的一个公共球场，它已经获得了授权。”
During a gaggle with reporters on Monday night after his Mississippi rally, Trump also said he has a "go-ahead" to work on the renovations and blasted the judge for being an "architectural critic of golf courses." "It's not my golf course, it's a public course being built in Washington D.C. and it has a go-ahead," Trump said.
他还表示，目前这个公共球场“极其危险，不宜游玩”，因为球场之间距离太近，他正向哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院请求“立即救济”。
He added that the current public course is "extremely dangerous to play" because it is too close together and that he was asking the D.C. Circuit Court for "immediate remedy."
