FBI thwarted plot targeting White House UFC event, Patel says

The FBI has successfully thwarted a multi-stage plot to attack the UFC Freedom 250 event held recently at the White House, resulting in multiple arrests. The high-profile event, celebrating President Donald Trump's 80th birthday and the nation's 250th anniversary, was targeted by a sophisticated scheme involving explosive drones.

Investigators uncovered details of the alleged plan, which intended to use drones to create panic and direct crowds toward snipers, followed by a ground assault on the White House gates. The FBI discovered the plot on June 10 after a relative alerted authorities, leading to arrests across multiple states. Officials praised the swift action of law enforcement in preventing a potentially devastating attack targeting "capitalist elites," "billionaires," and politicians.
