Eight men are indicted in Ohio on murder and terrorism conspiracy charges for an alleged plot to attack the Freedom 250 UFC event on the South Lawn of the White House.Prosecutors say the suspects began preparing in May, amassing sniper rifles, explosives, drones and communications gear and plotting to fly explosive-laden drones into the crowd and shoot fleeing attendees; named targets included Donald Trump, JD Vance, Benjamin Netanyahu and Elon Musk.Law enforcement learned of the threat days before the event and arrested suspects across Ohio, Missouri, Washington, Nebraska, California and West Virginia, and the indictment alleges Chandler D. Scaggs was designated as a sniper who remained in contact after initial detentions.The Department of Justice and the
FBI charge the men with providing material support to terrorists and conspiracy to commit murder on federal property, crimes that carry penalties up to 15 years for support and up to life for murder, and authorities say investigations continue.
