两名弗吉尼亚州居民提起诉讼，要求阻止唐纳德·特朗普总统在白宫举办的UFC格斗赛，该赛事是美国建国250周年庆祝活动的一部分。
这场由公共诚信项目代表一名越南战争老兵和一名公民活动人士于周六提起的诉讼称，在白宫场地搭建的赛事设施未经国会批准或环境审查，属于非法搭建。
诉讼还称，利用白宫场地“举办一场私人营利性体育赛事，并伴随此类场地使用权带来的所有宣传和品牌推广机会”，将让UFC总裁达纳·怀特和特朗普本人双双获利。诉讼援引了今年春季特朗普购买了UFC母公司TKO集团控股公司5万美元股票的报道作为佐证。
美国政府方面称，这场UFC赛事符合国会为庆祝美国建国250周年而批准的活动范畴，诉讼则驳斥了这一说法，称该赛事“本质上绝非‘庆祝美国独立250周年’——相反，它是在为UFC品牌和唐纳德·特朗普的80岁生日造势”。
美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）已联系白宫和UFC，征求其对该诉讼的置评。
这场定于6月14日在白宫南草坪举办的活动，恰逢特朗普的80岁生日。赛前称重仪式将于前一日在林肯纪念堂举行。
原告保罗·罗马诺是退役空军中士、越南战争老兵，他在一份新闻稿中表示：“林肯纪念堂是神圣之地，它纪念所有曾身着我国军装的人。将其用作营利性笼斗赛事的背景板，让总统及其盟友借此牟利，是对圣地的亵渎。”
Lawsuit aims to stop UFC fight at the White House

Two Virginia residents have filed a lawsuit seeking to stop the UFC fight President Donald Trump is holding at the White House as part of celebrations for the nation’s 250th birthday.
The lawsuit, filed Saturday by the Public Integrity Project on behalf of a Vietnam War veteran and a civic activist, argues the structure erected on the White House grounds is not authorized without congressional approval or environmental review.
It also argues the use of the White House grounds “to stage a private, for-profit sports event, with all the promotional and branding opportunities that accompany such access” will both financially benefit UFC President Dana White and Trump himself, citing a report in the spring Trump bought $50,000 in stock in UFC’s parent company, TKO Group Holdings.
The lawsuit pushes back on the assertion from the administration that the UFC match falls under the authorization from Congress for events to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, saying the event “is not in any material sense a ‘celebration of the 250th anniversary of American Independence’—it is, instead, a celebration of the UFC’s brand and the 80th anniversary of Donald Trump’s birth.”
CNN has reached out to the White House and UFC for comment on the lawsuit.
The White House South Lawn event, set for June 14, coincides with Trump’s 80th birthday. A weigh-in for the fighters is set for the day before at the Lincoln Memorial.
“The Lincoln Memorial is sacred ground, and it honors everyone who has ever worn this country’s uniform,” plaintiff Paul Romano, a retired Air Force sergeant and Vietnam veteran, said in a news release. “Using it as a backdrop for a for-profit cage fight so the President and his friends can make money is a desecration.”
