  "account": "A federal judge has ordered an investigation into whether government lawyers at a Washington D.C. golf course misrepresented the administration's intentions, according to Reuters. The issue began when President Donald Trump's plan to transform East Potomac Golf Links was challenged in court. Former US Attorney Jessie Liu will examine the conduct of officials from the Justice and Interior Departments. The controversy centers around the removal of more than 400 trees and the perceived contradiction between the president's public statements and the assurances given to the court.",
