He’s accused of participating in Signal chats planning attacks, including weapon procurement and strike points across D.C. — and faces up to 20 years if convicted. The FBI’s investigation has also led to arrests of teens and young adults from multiple states, with new charges involving explosive drones. This high-stakes security drama underscores how even the most guarded events remain targets for disruption. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
