Crews are making final preparations for President Trump’s planned Ultimate Fighting Championship fight night on the White House South Lawn this Sunday. The UFC has said the $60 million event is part of the celebrations marking the nation’s 250th anniversary. It also coincides with Trump’s 80th birthday on June 14.
The fight night is still set to move forward for now, unless a judge intervenes, after a last-minute federal lawsuit was filed over the weekend against the National Park Service, which oversees the South Lawn. @aaronlarnavarro reports for CBS News.
