Donald Trump was in attendance at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas Saturday night to witness UFC 290 alongside the mixed martial arts organization’s president, Dana White. 

It was a big surprise to the UFC fans in the stands when Trump emerged from the tunnel at ground level with White and a pack of Secret Service agents. 

The 45th president of the United States was his usual social self, interacting with fans by shaking hands and talking for a few moments as he made his way toward the octagon.

It was a total shock to everyone in the building, including the broadcasters of the event as they reacted with surprise when Trump was shown on the big screen. However, Trump is a big UFC fan and a good friend of White, who spoke for him at the 2020 Republican National Convention.

Trump had one of the best seats in the house right by the octagon, and he was seen taking pictures with many around him in between fights. Joe Rogan also made it a point to meet up with Trump in between his broadcasting duties.

There was even a UFC fighter, South Africa’s Dricus Du Plessis, who jumped over the cage after winning his bout with Robert Whittaker in the middleweight division to shake Trump’s hand as well as White’s. 

Du Plessis knocked out Whittaker in the second round. 

For Trump and everyone else watching UFC 290, it was a great main card that was highlighted by Alexander Volkanovski moving his overall record to 26-2 and retaining his featherweight division belt after knocking out Yair Rodriguez in the main event. 

Alexandre Pantoja and Brandon Moreno also had an amazing fight that needed the judges to weigh in after five rounds. Pantoja was eventually named winner by split decision, dethroning Moreno as flyweight champion. 

It was the third time in Pantoja’s career that he’s defeated Moreno in the octagon.

Dan Hooker also beat Jalin Turner by decision in the lightweight division, while Bo Nickal needed just 38 seconds to knock out Val Woodburn to begin the main card in Sin City. 

This isn’t the first UFC event Trump has attended, as he’s been spotted at multiple events, including UFC 244 while he was president. 

Trump has also been spotted at UFC 287 next to Kid Rock and former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson. 

The attorney who represented former President Donald Trump at his second impeachment trial spoke out regarding claims the federal government is potentially violating the real estate mogul's rights.

David Schoen told "Life, Liberty & Levin" that, among other things, he is concerned about pressure being put on the Trump-appointed federal judge randomly selected to hear the case.

Judge Aileen Cannon of the Southern District of Florida was tapped by Trump in 2017 to replace George W. Bush-appointed Judge Kenneth Marra after he assumed senior status.

Host Mark Levin began by claiming "an endless pattern of leaks" are negatively affecting Trump's case.

"It's a very dangerous situation that we face with these kinds of leaks," Schoen said.

"You emphasized the right of a defendant to a public trial — we all should believe in that, but we can't have selective leaking."

"In the case in Florida, for example, the government has filed — and the court approved — an unopposed protective order that limits the information the public can have extraordinarily, but also limits even the defendant's access to information limited to only looking at documents — non-classified documents — in front of his lawyers."

Levin agreed with Schoen's characterization, saying the defendant's team should be demanding they be given equal access to such material ahead of what will be a public trial.

Schoen said he respects Trump's current attorney in the case, Chris Kise, an ally of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis who was appointed to the state solicitor general's office by former Gov. Charlie Crist in 2002.

However, Schoen said it is important that Trump add additional criminal defense attorneys "who are prepared to fight."

He expressed concern that Cannon will face continued media scrutiny for being a "Trump appointee" hearing a case involving Trump as a defendant.

Schoen said Cannon's critics are largely hypocritical because there is less concern about commentary from the bench when it involves high-profile liberal federal judges like the Obama-appointed Amy Berman Jackson or Amit Mehta in Washington, D.C.

Jackson was notably the judge in the "Clinton socks" case cited by Trump in defense of his classified documents controversy, while Mehta has heard numerous cases involving right-leaning January 6 Capitol riot defendants.

"We don't hear much about the judges in D.C.… who make all sorts of extraneous, unnecessary comments maligning former President Trump," he said. 

"We don't hear about who appointed them… and how those comments… affect jury pools directly. It's very dangerous."
