United States law enforcement has arrested five people suspected of plotting attacks on the UFC Freedom 250 event held at the White House last Sunday, FBI Director Kash Patel announced, describing a rapid multi-state operation that neutralised the threat before it could materialise.
Patel said the FBI first learned of a potential threat on 10 June, four days before the mixed martial arts event took place on the South Lawn, and moved quickly alongside partners at the Department of Justice.
