2 more charged in alleged White House UFC attack plot, bringing total to 7
What's new: Court filings say one suspect supplied a shotgun and cash, while another discussed explosive drones and a possible Kansas City World Cup target.
Federal prosecutors charged two more men in the alleged plot to attack the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House, raising the number of defendants to seven. Newly unsealed court papers identify Jordan W. Rincker of Missouri and William Lee Spartacus Falkner of Washington state as part of the conspiracy. Prosecutors allege Rincker took a $1,200 cash payment from alleged ringleader Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, provided a pump-action shotgun and sent $100 to help another defendant drive to Washington. Falkner is accused of discussing how to obtain and fly multiple drones carrying explosives, including anti-jamming measures and payloads. The filings also say investigators are examining messages about a possible later attack tied to a FIFA World Cup match in Kansas City around the July 4 holiday.
