White House UFC Event Plot Leads to Charges for 2 Missourians

According to federal authorities, there were now at least 2 Missouri men who were involved in an elaborate plot to execute an attack at the White House during the Ultimate Fighting Championship event.

According to the United States Attorney's Office in the Western District of Missouri, Jordan Rincker, 28, of St. Joseph, Missouri has been charged with one-count criminal complaint with conspiracy to commit murder. He was arrested on Sunday, June 21, 2026 and just appeared in court on Monday, June 22. They believe he was involved in alleged plot to attack and kill government officials and others attending the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Freedom 250 event held at the White House on June 14, 2026.

The complaint filed by law enforcement alleges that Mr. Rincker received $1,200 in cash from a co-conspirator to then disperse the money to other alleged conspirators. When federal law enforcement officers investigated his home they reportedly found the following:

FN Reflex 9mm pistol with a magazine and loose 9mm rounds
FMK AR1 eXtreme multi-caliber rifle
A Remington 597 .22 LR caliber rifle
3D printed Glock-style pistol with 3D-printed magazine and 3D-printed
ammunition
Gas mask with cartridge
Night vision goggles
Multiple electronic devices
3D printer (Ender brand)
3D printer (Creality brand)
3D filament
3D printed gun parts
Shield Strike Face Level III ballistic plate
Plate carrier with plates inside
Thermal imaging scope
Muzi Works off grid mesh network
A mini-Mac computer

This is the second charge filed against a Missourian in this alleged UFC attack plot as the Office of Public Affairs from the US Justice Department reported that Daniel K. Eskridge, 32, of Kidder, Missouri conspired to plan and execute a mass casualty event targeting U.S. officials at this UFC event.

“This case demonstrates the effectiveness of our law enforcement partners and U.S. Attorneys working together to prevent violence before it can take place,” said U.S. Attorney R. Matthew Price for the Western District of Missouri. “We will continue taking decisive action against those who seek to endanger national security and threaten the safety of Americans. By staying proactive, we will disrupt their operations, break apart their networks, and hold those responsible accountable under the law.”

The press release from the federal agencies emphasizes that these charges are not proof of guilt and the named suspects are innocent until proven guilty.
