Secret Service furious at Kash Patel for rushing to announce arrests in UFC plot
Secret Service officials were angry after FBI Director Kash Patel blindsided them and publicly announced details of a sealed, ongoing investigation into an alleged plot to attack a UFC fight event at the White House.Patel's announcement Tuesday morning potentially compromised roughly 10 arrests that had not yet been made, according to three people familiar with the matter, and his social media post disrupted plans by Secret Service and FBI officials to unseal the case later that afternoon and issue a joint public statement, reported NBC News correspondent Ken Dilanian."We all woke up this morning to see this on Twitter," one administration official said, speaking anonymously to discuss sensitive matters.The investigation began last week when a relative of one of the suspects contacted local police in the Cincinnati area to report that their family member was discussing a vague plot in Washington. A Secret Service advanced threat interdiction team, working with the FBI, obtained a subpoena for an encrypted Signal chat thread that revealed plans for the drone attack. One suspect was arrested June 13, and the case was immediately sealed to allow investigators to identify and arrest additional suspects.Secret Service Deputy Director Matt Quinn publicly rebuked the premature disclosure at a news conference Tuesday without naming Patel directly. "Don't choke on your own smoke," Quinn said, invoking a phrase learned early in his career. "The Secret Service led that investigation from the beginning. In order to maintain the integrity of the investigation and the security plan, we chose not to leak it."Quinn declined to discuss further details, noting the case remained sealed and active.The Secret Service has since dramatically expanded security around the weekend event and issued alerts to law enforcement partners to watch for drones in downtown Washington.

The View calls out JD Vance to his face in tense interview: 'That's not what he said!'
Vice President JD Vance spent Tuesday on The View trying to explain away President Donald Trump's controversial remarks — and co-host Joy Behar immediately shut him down.Vance was on the show defending the administration's economic record days after Trump told reporters he loved the surging inflation, insisting it would fall once the war in Iran ended. Consumer prices had hit a three-year high in May.Behar came in swinging, invoking Trump's earlier claim that affordability is a "hoax" and the hundreds of millions being poured into the White House ballroom and the National Mall reflecting pool."Why is he doing them when everybody knows that Americans are struggling?" Behar asked. "What is he spending all this money for?"Vance pushed back on the "hoax" framing, arguing Trump meant the affordability crisis was Democrats' fault, not his. Then co-host Ana Navarro landed the punch that changed the segment."He just said he loves the inflation," Navarro said."What he said is that he loves the fact that the inflation is gonna come down when this war is over," Vance replied. "That's what he said.""That's not what he said," co-host Whoopi Goldberg fired back. "That wasn't a direct —"Behar finished the thought."Are you his interpreter or are you his vice president? Come on!"Vance let out a forced laugh, then tried again — reiterating that Trump's "I love the inflation" was really a prediction about post-war price drops, and pointing to falling gas prices as evidence of progress."When?" Behar said.
