The FBI Just Ruined a Wild Plot to Attack a UFC Fight at the White House

Original version ·

So, apparently, someone thought holding a cage fight on the lawn of the most secure residence in the world wasn't chaotic enough, so they decided to bring explosive drones into the mix.

Imagine trying to celebrate the nation's 250th birthday and Donald Trump's birthday by setting up a UFC octagon on the White House South Lawn. Now imagine a group of 23 people looking at that and thinking, "Yeah, that's our cue."

The FBI just broke up an incredibly elaborate, movie-villain-style plot to attack the event. According to investigators, these guys weren't just planning to sneak in. The master plan involved explosive-laden drones hitting nearby buildings, snipers targeting the panicked crowd, and a "second wave" storming the gates.

How did the feds bust this high-tech, multi-layered tactical operation? They read their Signal group chat. Yes, the absolute geniuses planning a literal siege on the presidency were hashing out the details on an app, leaving a digital breadcrumb trail that led arrests straight to Cincinnati and beyond.

Planning a literal coup in the group chat is certainly one way to get oneself a free, all-expenses-paid trip to a federal penitentiary.
