A federal grand jury has indicted eight men on murder and terrorism conspiracy charges for their alleged roles in a thwarted plot to attack a UFC cage-fighting show. The event, known as UFC Freedom 250, was staged on the White House lawn in June.
Federal prosecutors allege the group planned a drone and sniper attack targeting several high-value individuals. The targets reportedly included Donald Trump, Vance, Netanyahu, Musk, and other high-value targets.
The indictment, returned in Ohio, charges the eight men in two separate conspiracies. These include providing material support to terrorists and committing murder on federal government territory, specifically the murder of a federal government official. The U.S. Department of Justice announced the charges in a statement on Thursday.
