New York Times: “A political activist and a Vietnam veteran represented by an anti-corruption organization filed a lawsuit on Saturday challenging what it called the ‘night of cage fights’ that President Trump planned to hold at the White House as part of the celebration of the country’s 250th anniversary.”

“The lawsuit argues that the transformation of the grounds was never authorized by Congress, and that the event will serve as an extraordinary use of government space to benefit both the chief executive of UFC, Dana White, and Mr. Trump, who is an investor in UFC’s parent company.”
