Lawsuit Seeks to Halt Trump's White House UFC Birthday Spectacle
TL;DR Summary
A Virginia military veteran and an organizer filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump, UFC, Paramount, and others, arguing that the planned UFC event on the White House South Lawn to celebrate Trump’s 80th birthday would be a private, for-profit use of national monuments and bypass federal permitting, with UFC, Paramount and Trump potentially profiting. The suit names the National Parks Service and Department of the Interior, cites restrictions on private events at the Lincoln Memorial and South Lawn, and seeks to halt the event; White House officials dismissed the suit as baseless would-be obstruction.
