The Court records also revealed that during his interview, Xiong said that he left his home in California on December 18 "with the intention of driving straight to the White House in Washington, DC, to kill persons in power."
The conspiracy theorist said told the investigators that the "evil individuals he intended to kill" included Biden, Fauci, former President Barack Obama and Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, authorities said.

The Raw Story reported that during the interview, Xiong showed the investigators a drawing of the White House and grounds which included 'weak spots' marked by him while planning the attack. the 25-year-old was planning to use grappling hooks to climb over the perimeter fencing to enter the White House and assassinate those on his hit list.
"During the course of the interview, Xiong allowed investigators access to his personal cellular phone to corroborate his statements," the court documents say. "Investigators found detailed notes within Xiong's calendar and notes applications, including entries for 'Survive supplies' on October 19th, 'Safe life defense order' (body armor) on October 19th, 'Safe life fed defense' on October 22nd, 'Rifle pickup' on October 29, 'Silencer order' on November 5th, and 'Save USA' on November 20th, 21st, and 27th."
"It is at this time Xiong began assembling the equipment needed to carry out his plan to kill those in power: an assault rifle, assault rifle magazines, ammunition, body armor, medical supplies, dark clothing, grappling hook, food, and cash," court records say.
"He added that if released from custody, he would immediately resume traveling to the White House ... and 'do whatever it takes' to complete his plan," the complaint said adding that Xiong stated that he has no intention of returning to California to see his family because he plans on dying while fighting evil demons in the White House.
