Donald Trump’s acting attorney general has abruptly shut down questions about the legal threat to the president’s UFC birthday bash, refusing to say if he would comply with a judge’s ruling if the event is blocked.

On Thursday, The Daily Beast was given a sneak peek at the arena being built at the White House, dominated by a giant steel lighting structure known as “The Claw” that towers above an octagon at the center of the South Lawn.
