华盛顿讯——周六提起的一项联邦诉讼旨在叫停原定于白宫南草坪举办的终极格斗冠军赛（UFC）夜场赛事，当天恰逢特朗普总统的生日。
这起由公共诚信项目代表一名政治活动人士和一名空军退伍军人提起的诉讼，将6月14日这场活动的筹备计划称为“严重腐败”，并辩称其目的是为总统及其盟友牟利。
诉讼还称，特朗普政府批准在国家公园土地上举办该活动违反联邦法律；在南草坪搭建包含巨型拱门的赛场未获得国会授权，也未经过环境评估。
“总统向UFC首席执行官达纳·怀特及其公司提供了前所未有的特权：不受限制地使用白宫和林肯纪念堂来举办一场私人营利性体育赛事，并借此获得所有相关的宣传和品牌曝光机会，”诉讼文件中写道。
本次活动将于周五晚间在林肯纪念堂拉开帷幕。
诉讼主张，从该赛事中获利的主体包括总统本人——他持有UFC母公司的股份——怀特、赛事转播合作伙伴派拉蒙天舞公司（CBS新闻的母公司）及其广告商。派拉蒙拒绝置评。
UFC方面表示，此次赛事是美国建国250周年庆祝活动的一部分。但诉讼指出，这场夜场赛事的举办日期恰逢特朗普的80岁生日，比7月4日独立日早约三周。
“这场活动既不是‘为庆祝美国独立250周年’，关键的是，也并非由联邦政府‘规划、组织和执行’，”诉讼文件中写道。
报告后续补充道：“相反，‘UFC自由250’赛事的举办是为了UFC、派拉蒙及其广告商的经济利益，同时也是为了庆祝唐纳德·特朗普的80岁生日。”
一名政府官员称这起诉讼是“阻挠性、毫无依据且故意拖延时间的”企图，目的是阻止特朗普“在我国建国250周年庆祝活动期间举办这场无疑将载入史册的顶级体育赛事之一”。
“这场标志性赛事与往年在南草坪举办的各类白宫活动并无不同，也符合在椭圆广场和国家 Mall 举办活动的既定审批程序，”该官员表示。
UFC未回应CBS新闻的置评请求。

Washington — A federal lawsuit filed Saturday seeks to shut down the Ultimate Fighting Championship fight night on the White House’s South Lawn on President Trump’s birthday.
The lawsuit, filed by the Public Integrity Project on behalf of a political activist and an Air Force veteran, calls the plans around the June 14 event “deeply corrupt” and argues that it seeks to enrich the president and his allies.
It also argues that the Trump administration’s approval of the event on national parklands violates federal law, the construction of the venue, which includes a massive arch, on the South Lawn lacks congressional authorization and did not go through an environmental review.
“The president is giving UFC chief executive Dana White and his company what none have enjoyed before: unfettered access to the White House and Lincoln Memorial to stage a private, for-profit sports event, with all the promotional and branding opportunities that accompany such access,” the lawsuit says.
The weekend’s events are set to kick off Friday night at the Lincoln Memorial.
The lawsuit contends that those who stand to benefit financially from the event include the president, who has investments in UFC’s parent company, White, and the company’s broadcast partner Paramount SkyDance, which is the parent company of CBS News, and its advertisers. Paramount declined to comment.
The UFC has said that the event is part of the celebrations to mark the country’s 250th anniversary. But the lawsuit notes the date of the fight night falls on Mr. Trump’s 80th birthday, about three weeks before July 4.
“The event is neither ‘for the celebration of the 250th anniversary of American Independence’ nor, crucially, being ‘planned, organized, and executed’ by the federal government,” the lawsuit says.
It later adds, “Rather, UFC Freedom 250 is being held for the financial benefit of the UFC, Paramount, and their advertisers, and to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Donald Trump’s birth.”
An administration official called the lawsuit “an obstructionist, baseless, and dilatory” attempt to prevent Mr. Trump from “from hosting what will undoubtedly go down as one of the most historic sporting events in our nation’s history during our semiquincentennial celebration.”
“This iconic event is no different than the various other White House-hosted events on the South Lawn and properly permitted events on the Ellipse and National Mall throughout the year,” the official said.
UFC did not respond to CBS News’ request for comment.
