Published September 20, 2018 9:19pm ET



A Washington canoeing group filed a lawsuit against the Coast Guard on Thursday alleging that President Trump’s use of his golf course along the Potomac River leads to unlawful restrictions of the waterways.

The Canoe Cruisers Association of Greater Washington listed in their lawsuit 32 times when a two-mile zone was off-limits to the public when Trump was visiting his golf course in northern Virginia between June 24, 2017 to Sept. 8 of this year, according to USA Today.
