Trump is testing the courts; cutting down trees on a DC golf course after a judge told him not to. A pretend apology when Trump’s ads ran at taxpayer expense after a judge ordered him to stop. Get up to speed, including on a new order issued tonight: joycevance.substack.com/p/its-more-t...

It’s More Than Just a Little Routine Maintenance
The administration flouted a judge’s order and cut down more than 400 trees on the East Potomac Golf Course over the weekend.

Executing a search warrant while early voting is underway in Minnesota, on an old, moldy "crime" is all you need to know about the motivation here. Absolutely no reason not to wait until the second week of November. It's abundantly clear that this is about politics, not a legitimate prosecution.
