The Hill—A federal grand jury indicted eight men on conspiracy charges for allegedly plotting a coordinated drone and sniper attack on the UFC Freedom 250 event held at the White House, with the alleged goal of assassinating President Trump, Elon Musk, and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu among the targets. The Department of Justice announced the indictments, describing a multi-pronged attack plan. An eighth defendant was charged separately in connection with the same plot. Two of the defendants were from California. The alleged plot underscores the security challenges posed by large-scale events held on White House grounds since Trump took office.
