Five people were taken into custody after the FBI said it disrupted an alleged plan to attack the UFC Freedom 250 event on the White House South Lawn.
The alleged plot included explosive drones, a sniper team and a plan to storm the White House gate, according to investigators.
Signal chats helped investigators identify 23 potential plotters, and the case drew in 12 FBI field offices across multiple states.
Authorities said the suspects aimed at "capitalist elites," billionaires and politicians receiving AIPAC donations, underscoring the event's high-profile political and security stakes.
