Two more individuals have been arrested in connection with an alleged plot to carry out an attack on a UFC event hosted at the White House, authorities announced.
One suspect was taken into custody in Missouri, while a second was arrested in Washington state, bringing the total number of people detained in the case to at least three.
According to law enforcement officials, investigators first learned of the potential threat on June 10 — four days before the event was held on the South Lawn of the White House on June 14.
The UFC event took place at the White House, where President Donald Trump was in attendance as Justin Gaethje defeated Ilia Toupruia in the lightweight championship bout at UFC Freedom 250.
