Missouri Man, 32, Led Foiled White House UFC Attack Plot, Driven by Grievances

Summary
Federal investigators identified a 32-year-old Missouri man as the person “running the show” in the thwarted plan to attack a June 14 UFC event at the White House.
Court documents and social media posts suggest the alleged organizer was motivated by a shifting mix of personal grievances and conspiracy theories rather than a single clear ideology.
The broader case already spans at least eight charged suspects accused of plotting to use explosive drones and firearms after connecting on TikTok and coordinating in Telegram and Signal chats.
The new identification adds detail to a plot that authorities say moved beyond online talk into acquiring guns, ammunition and tactical gear before it was stopped.
