In Washington, a federal judge declined to block the Trump administration from staging a UFC mixed martial arts event on the White House South Lawn this Sunday. The event, organized to coincide with both the nation’s 250th anniversary and President Trump’s 80th birthday, has drawn criticism for its use of the historic grounds. US District Judge Amit Mehta ruled that organizers could proceed, with a “gaudy arena” already constructed on the lawn. The spectacle promises to be one of the more unconventional celebrations ever held at the executive mansion.
