Trump family promotes coins commemorating White House UFC fight
The medallions are marketed as officially licensed and range from nearly $250 to $11,999.99, drawing scrutiny over the Trump family’s latest business tie-in.
- The Trump family is promoting commemorative coins priced up to $12,000 ahead of the White House UFC fight this weekend, marketed as a collaboration between the UFC and the Trump Organization.
- Coinciding with President Donald Trump's 80th birthday and America's 250th anniversary celebration, the event has drawn scrutiny from critics who argue it primarily promotes the UFC brand and presidential interests.
- Virginia residents filed a lawsuit to stop the fight, citing a report that Trump purchased $50,000 in stock in the UFC's parent company and alleging the event serves personal financial interests.
- White House spokesman Davis Ingle rejected conflict of interest allegations, asserting that Trump acts only in the best interests of the American public, while the Trump Organization declined immediate comment.
- A federal judge ordered the administration to respond to the lawsuit by Tuesday evening, even as construction continues on the White House South Lawn for the weekend fight.
