Two Virginia residents have filed a lawsuit to stop a UFC fight scheduled at the White House on June 14, arguing that the event financially benefits the President and violates the 'Emoluments Clause' of the US Constitution, which prohibits officials from receiving gifts or payments from foreign governments without congressional approval. The plaintiffs claim that allowing the event could set a dangerous precedent for future presidential events. The lawsuit seeks an injunction to prevent the UFC fight from taking place. The White House has not commented on the suit so far.
