An ISIS sympathizer from Texas pleaded guilty to a role in a terrorist plot to attack the White House and Trump Tower, federal authorities said Tuesday.
Jaylyn Christopher Molina, 22, was charged last year with conspiracy to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization in a plot he said would give him “rock star status,” prosecutors said.
Molina was charged along with Kristopher Sean Matthews of South Carolina for conspiring on a plan that began in May 2019, authorities said.
While former President Donald Trump was in office, the pair had discussed traveling to Syria to fight with the Islamic State group and talked about carrying out attacks at Trump Tower, the White House, the New York Stock Exchange or buildings housing the CIA or FBI, according to court records.
