Eight Indicted for Murder Conspiracy in Thwarted White House Attack Plot

The eight men face charges of murder and terrorism conspiracy for a planned attack on a UFC event.
The plot involved using drones and firearms to target attendees, including a federal official.
Charges were filed after law enforcement intercepted the conspiracy in June, just days before the event.
The eighth defendant, Chandler D. Scaggs, was arrested recently and allegedly intended to act as a sniper.
