A federal judge delivered a stinging rebuke to government lawyers in a case involving tree cutting at a Trump golf course, according to Above the Law. The judge rejected the government's assertion that it had done its best, responding with what the publication described as an epic benchslap. The judge's comment, "You did your absolute worst," captured the tone of the courtroom exchange.
The case centers on a chainsaw spree at a Trump golf course, though the specific legal claims and procedural history were not detailed in the source. The government's attorneys had argued they did their best in handling the matter, but the judge disagreed sharply.
Above the Law framed the judge's remarks as a notable judicial dressing-down, emphasizing the contrast between the government's self-assessment and the judge's view. The source does not include further context about the underlying litigation or the parties' next steps.
