White supremacists were plotting to attack US power grid over Trump loss

White supremacists plotted to attack power stations in the southeastern US in the case of Donald Trump losing the re-election, according to an FBI affidavit that was mistakenly unsealed last week.

It also reveals information about a teenager in Ohio who shared the plan for the attack and said he wanted a text group he was a part of to be operational on a fast-tracked timeline, the Associated Press reported.

According to the affidavit, the boy was in the group with more than a dozen people when, in 2019, he introduced the idea of saving money to buy a ranch where they could participate in militant training.

The investigation started after one person from Canada was stopped while trying to enter the US and border agents found Nazi and white supremacist images on his phone while he revealed about his plan to meet the Ohio teen.
