(The Center Square) – The FBI foiled a plot set to disrupt Sunday's UFC fight on the grounds of the White House, FBI Director Kash Patel said on Tuesday. 

Patel said federal officials first learned of the plan on June 10. The alleged plot involved using drones with attached explosives to hit buildings near the event, prompting a mass evacuation and steer crowds toward a group of snipers.
