Eight people now face terrorism charges<\/a> related to a thwarted alleged plot to kill government officials and high-profile figures \u2014 including President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Elon Musk \u2014 at the UFC Freedom 250 event held at the White House last month.<\/p>\n

All eight were charged together Thursday as part of a two-count indictment handed down in Ohio.<\/p>\n

The indictment alleges they conspired to provide material support to terrorists, conspired to commit murder on federal territory, and conspired to murder federal government officials, the Justice Department<\/a> said.<\/p>\n

FBI REVEALS WHY TRUMP WHITE HOUSE UFC EVENT WENT AHEAD DESPITE ALLEGED TERROR PLOT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

On June 10 \u2014 just four days prior to the event \u2014 law enforcement officials first learned of the possible threat to the cage-fighting show<\/a>. Seven of the suspects were arrested shortly after in various locations across the country.<\/p>\n

The eighth suspect, who was allegedly designated to participate as a sniper during the attack, was arrested this week by the FBI<\/a> in West Virginia.<\/p>\n

The indictment stems from an initial investigation and criminal complaint filed against Tycen C. Proper, 19, of Danville, Ohio. The other defendants are Michael Alan Thomas, 32; Daniel K. Eskridge, 32; Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, 31; Jordan W. Rincker, 28; Bryan Omar Roa, 25; William Lee Spartacus Falkner, 21; and Chandler D. Scaggs, 21.<\/p>\n

CHICAGO MAN CHARGED WITH OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE IN CONNECTION TO WHITE HOUSE UFC ATTACK PLOT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The plot allegedly began in May when the defendants started amassing money, firearms, ammunition, body armor, explosives, drones, medical supplies and communications equipment.<\/p>\n

Federal prosecutors said Scaggs was originally supposed to be picked up by Proper to travel to Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

However, even after Proper was arrested, Scaggs indicated to the group that he was still willing to participate in the attack and made new plans for another co-conspirator to pick him up.<\/p>\n

The suspects coordinated online through an encrypted Signal chat, Discord, and a TikTok group called “Vanguard of the Old,” authorities said.<\/p>\n

The group held fringe anti-government conspiracy theories<\/a> and expressed a desire to “tear down” the United States so it could be rebuilt, prosecutors noted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
