Update: Judge Reyes withdraws her order to name DOJ lawyers after a six-hour golf-course hearing
U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes withdrew her order that would have forced the Justice Department to refile a court brief with the names of career attorneys who agreed with it, reversing course Monday after a hearing on the East Potomac Golf Links renovation that stretched beyond six hours, the Washington Examiner reported. 'Having spoken with my clerks and thought about it a little bit more, I am going to withdraw the request,' Reyes said; a Trump administration lawyer had called the order 'untenable.'
