FBI Director Kash Patel is under fire for publicly posting details of an active terror investigation before it was finished, which may have tipped off suspects who were still being hunted.

• Federal agents say they foiled a plot to attack a UFC event at the White House using drones and explosives, arresting five men across California and Nevada.
• Patel tweeted about the arrests early, praising the FBI, while agents were still searching for more suspects — two more were caught afterward.
• The case was under a court seal, and federal law bars publicizing sealed cases, so his post appears to have broken FBI rules and a court order.
• The Secret Service, which led the case, took a public shot at Patel, saying they chose not to leak it to protect the investigation.

Outlook: Patel faces growing criticism that his focus on social media attention is undermining serious investigations, with no sign he'll change course.
