US security services received operational intelligence on June 10 about a planned attack on presidential candidate Donald Trump, allowing them to neutralize the threat in time. A total of 23 people were involved in the conspiracy, of whom five have been arrested.

Investigators have revealed an extremely complex plan. The perpetrators initially intended to use drones equipped with explosives to attack a UFC event venue and surrounding buildings. The goal was to create mass panic and funnel the fleeing crowd into a zone where snipers were pre-positioned. Exploiting the chaos, the group planned to storm the White House and kill the president.

The conspirators used the encrypted messaging app Signal for communication. One of the detainees confessed that the primary targets were "billionaires and capitalists" linked to the pro-Israel lobbying organization AIPAC.

US Vice President JD Vance stated that the scale of the planned attack was so serious that the public was informed immediately. Trump, currently attending the G7 summit in France, said he first learned about the assassination plot from journalists.
