There was a fight at the White House in Washington, D.C., and some people planned to hurt Donald Trump.

In short, it was a bad plan.

Eight men wanted to use drones and guns to hurt Trump at the UFC event.

The group had strange ideas and wanted to cause trouble for the US government.

What happens next?

The men could go to prison for a long time if they are found guilty.

Eight men in the US are in trouble for planning a bad attack on Trump at the UFC event.

The men are accused of two separate bad plans.

They wanted to help terrorists and hurt government officials, including Trump.

Trump went to the UFC event with Dana White and other politicians on his birthday, and nothing bad happened.

We don't know how close the bad people got to carrying out their plan.

The FBI director said the plan was stopped, and some people were arrested.

The indictment tells us how the bad plan was made. Here's what we know.

The plan included explosives, drones, and armor.

Eight men, aged 19-32, wanted to hurt Trump, the Vice-President, and other important people at the UFC event.

The men's names are Abraham Alvarez, Daniel Eskridge, William Falkner, Tycen Proper, Jordan Rincker, Bryan Roa, Chandler Scaggs, and Michael Thomas.

Five people are in jail because of the plan, which included flying drones with explosives near the White House UFC match.

The men started planning in May and bought guns, armor, and other things.

They used social media and the internet to plan and made a system to organize themselves.

The 'tier one' men were supposed to put themselves in harm's way and break the law.

The men agreed to travel to the White House and had a plan to escape after the attack.

The men wanted to fly drones with explosives over the UFC event and shoot people who were running away.

Mr. Roa and Mr. Thomas practiced shooting and fighting in California.

The men kept notes and contacted each other on social media to plan the attack.

Mr. Roa drove from California to Washington, D.C., but had car trouble.

Mr. Alvarez met Mr. Rincker and gave him a 3D printer, and got armor and guns in return.

The police stopped the attack.

New court documents were filed after the US Justice Department announced the bad plan.

The police found out about the plan on June 10, four days before the UFC event.

The men had plans to travel to and escape from the White House.

The police were called to a house in Ohio because a mother was worried about her son's activities.

The son, Mr. Proper, had been planning 'recons' and 'hit and run missions' and spent a lot of money on gear and ammunition.

The men had strange ideas and wanted to hurt the US government.

Mr. Proper's mother said he was talking to people who claimed to be Christian and former military servicemen.

The men had ultra-religious and anti-government ideas and were upset about government actions.

Mr. Proper told the police about the group's social media name, 'Vanguard of the Old'.

He gave the police the names of Mr. Roa and Mr. Thomas, and their houses were searched.

One of the men told the police they planned to fly drones with explosives and shoot people who were running away.

The UFC boss, Dana White, says they will never have an event like that again.

Mr. Trump went to the UFC event with other politicians, but nothing bad happened.

Mr. Proper and four others were arrested, and two more were arrested later.

Mr. Scaggs was the eighth person charged and was accused of being a sniper.

Mr. Scaggs's lawyer is looking at the allegations and won't comment.

The men could go to prison for a long time if they are found guilty.
