# Drones, Snipers, and a Birthday: How the FBI Thwarted a Major Plot Against Trump

US intelligence agencies have prevented a large-scale terrorist attack that was scheduled to take place on one of the most important days in Donald Trump's life. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested a group of perpetrators who planned to assassinate the former president on his birthday and also strike the White House.

This became known from statements by FBI Director Kash Patel and materials from NBC News, cited by RBK-Ukraine. Operatives received information about the impending attack on June 10, which allowed them to act in advance and neutralize the threat before it was set to be carried out on June 14.

### Details of the sinister plan

The scenario developed by the conspirators was characterized by a high degree of complexity and cruelty. According to sources, the criminal group planned to use unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) packed with explosives to attack buildings located in close proximity to the White House.

The goal of the explosions was to create chaos and panic. As soon as people began to evacuate the scene, snipers were supposed to come into play, opening fire on the crowd of fleeing civilians. Such a scenario could have led to significant casualties among the population.

Thanks to the operational work of law enforcement agencies, several suspects in the case have already been taken into custody. FBI Director Kash Patel emphasized that the threat was eliminated quickly and effectively.

### Government reaction and public skepticism

The scale of preparation for the terrorist act was so substantial that US Vice President JD Vance deemed it necessary to publicly inform citizens about it. This decision was made to ensure the population was aware of the real danger that had been averted.

At the same time, Donald Trump himself, who was visiting France for the G7 summit at the time the plot was uncovered, told journalists that he was hearing about this information for the first time. His reaction raised additional questions among observers, given the frequency of such incidents against him.

Public opinion in the US regarding assassination attempts on the head of state remains divided. According to polls, the majority of citizens believe in the reality of the incident in Pennsylvania, where a bullet flew centimeters from the politician's head. However, part of the population is skeptical of other reports, in particular, the incident during a dinner with journalists, viewing it as a possible staged event.

### Series of assassination attempts: chronology of events

Events surrounding the security of Donald Trump are gaining momentum with each month. Here are the key incidents that have occurred recently:

    - **April 25:** An armed man was detained during a dinner with journalists, and shots were fired.

    - **September 2024:** Ryan Routh attempted to shoot the president on a golf course in Florida. In February 2026, the court sentenced him to life imprisonment.

    - **The Butler incident:** During a rally in Pennsylvania, a bullet grazed Trump's ear, flying centimeters from his head.

Despite frequent assassination attempts, intelligence agencies continue to demonstrate effectiveness, as was the case with the plot on the politician's birthday.
