Summary
The Trump administration has responded to a lawsuit aiming to block a UFC fight at the White House, arguing that critics can simply avoid the event rather than using a lawsuit to block it. The event, which is expected to attract 4,000 spectators, has been planned for months and has already cost over $60 million. The lawsuit, filed on behalf of two Virginia residents, claims that the event will interfere with the White House and National Mall area and that organizers ignored federal permitting rules.
