Ahead of a Trump rally on Long Island on Wednesday, the Nassau County Police Department reassured the public that there is no threat to President Trump's rally site after initial reports that "explosives" were found in a car just outside the venue during a sweep of the rally site. The report comes as thousands of Trump supporters wait for the 45th president to arrive. The rally is scheduled to begin at 7 PM EST at the Nassau Coliseum, with doors opening at 3 PM EST.
"Reports of explosives being found at the site are unfounded," Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder said. "There is a person who is being questioned who may have been training a bomb detection dog near the site. The individual with the bomb dog falsely reported explosives being found, and that individual is currently being detained by the police."
The news comes after OANN reporter James Lalino said that sources with the Nassau County Police Department said that the rally site's "perimeter was breached, and a blue barrel was removed."
"During K9, doing their checks, they found an explosive device in one of the vehicles, and that driver ended up running into the woods," a Nassau County police source told journalist James Lalino. "No one saw if he had anything on him, they just saw him take off running. A lot of cars are now parking, they're lining up on Hempstead Turnpike, just parking on the grass. Even over at Eisenhower Park, they're just parking over there."
The false alarm comes after President Donald Trump survived a second assassination attempt at the Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday.
