or Kash Patel said Tuesday.

Patel revealed that Proper has been charged on four counts, which includes conspiracy to commit offense against the US and the attempted murder of a US govt. official. A complaint was first filed against Proper on June 12, and the FBI nabbed him through a search of Tycen Proper's iPhone.

The search of Tycen's phone found “chats on Signal groups that laid out detailed plans to conduct an attack in Washington, D.C. with several unidentified confederates," the FBI said. He is currently being held in Franklin County, Ohio.

Kash Patel meanwhile, said that "thanks to the rapid action of this FBI, our partners, and the Department of Justice in a multi-state operation, multiple individuals are now in custody, and allegedly planned attacks were stopped cold."

Two other suspects arrested in the case have been identified as Bryan Omar Roa and Michael Alan Thomas of California. No details have been released on the others.

Kash Patel, in his post, did not clarify the motive behind the attack. Nor did he say anything further about there being potentially more threats linked to the plot. However, according to the evidence recovered from Tycen Proper's iPhone, the attack was plotted to "jumpstart a revolution in the US," per the FBI.

Tycen Proper and the others were part of a TikTok messaging group called 'Vanguard of the Old' since March this year. It was mainly on this group and other messaging platforms via which Proper and the others coordinated.

The FBI said that the family of Tycen Proper tipped the authorities, notifying them about the 19-year-old potentially "quitting his job" to prepare for an "upcoming mission." Proper's family revealed to the police that he allegedly planned to leave on the UFC White House card weekend with people he met online.
