The FBI revealed an indictment against a 19-year-old suspect accused of helping plan the foiled attack on President Trump's UFC event at the White House. According to the affidavit, the suspect selected members of Congress as targets based on who received "pro-Israel money," and shared images of four lawmakers in a Signal group chat, images the FBI says appear to have been taken from TrackAIPAC. The development links an Israeli-focused tracking platform directly to the alleged plotting.
The FBI has unsealed an indictment against a 19-year-old suspect who allegedly helped plan the foiled terror plot targeting President Trump's UFC event at the White House, adding an Israel-focused dimension to the investigation.
According to the affidavit cited by Israeli media, the suspect chose congressional targets based on their receipt of "pro-Israel money," specifically naming Senator Marsha Blackburn. He then shared images of four additional lawmakers inside a Signal group chat — images the FBI says "appear to have been taken from TrackAIPAC," a platform that tracks pro-Israel political donations.
As The Zioneer reported Tuesday evening, the FBI had linked one suspect to pro-Israel funding targets. The current disclosure strengthens that link by identifying TrackAIPAC as the alleged source of target images used by the group. The broader foiled plot, disclosed earlier this week, involved explosive-packed drones, sniper teams, and a ground assault on the White House complex during the UFC event. Five suspects are in custody out of 23 identified in the Signal chat.
What remains unconfirmed: whether the suspect shared the images for operational targeting or for other discussion, and whether other participants acted on the list.
