[DM] FBI Director Kash Patel came under fire from the Secret Service on Tuesday after he revealed details of a plot against President Donald Trump's UFC Freedom 250 event.
The controversy came after Patel publicly revealed an alleged plot to use armed drones to attack the high-profile mixed martial arts spectacle held on the White House South Lawn.
But Patel made the comments before investigators had finished making arrests.
According to multiple reports, Patel's announcement caught some of the very investigators working the case off guard.
MSNOW reported that Secret Service officials were furious because the criminal case remained sealed and several suspects had not yet been arrested when Patel disclosed details of the investigation.
According to the network, Secret Service and FBI officials had been coordinating plans to unseal the case later in the day, make additional arrests and issue a joint public statement. But instead, Patel posted first.
