A pair of D.C. area golf enthusiasts are suing the Trump administration over its plan to take over and redevelop the district’s public golf system.

The lawsuit, filed late last week by plaintiffs Alex Dickson and Dave Roberts, argues the administration’s move to end its lease with the National Links Trust violates the Administrative Procedure Act, the National Environmental Policy Act and the National Historic Perseveration Act, among other federal laws.
