BREAKING: Authorities Say 'Explosive Devices' Report 'Unfounded' In New Update

UPDATE: Local authorities say initial reports of "explosive devices" found near the rally are "unfounded," the Daily Mail reports, but mysteriously also noted that a "suspicious occurrence" led to the initial report. Police and Secret Service remain on "high alert" in a ramped-up effort to secure the rally site's perimeter.

Less than 72 hours after the second assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump, the Daily Mail reported that a third may have been in the works shortly before his Wednesday rally in Long Island, New York.

A pre-rally sweep of the area by Secret Service agents and the Nassau County Police Department uncovered what were described as "explosive" inside a parked vehicle outside the venue where President Trump is expected to speak Wednesday night, according to the Daily Mail. The tip came from a source close to the local police who declared the rally site "perimeter was breached and a blue barrel was removed." A follow-up sweep of the area with K-9 units "found an explosive device in one of the vehicles."

Shortly before the explosives were allegedly discovered, officers apparently noticed the owner of the vehicle running off into the nearby woods. "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 source said to One America News Network journalist James Lalino, who recounted the conversation in a post on X. Additional video emerged showing a strong police presence near walkways traveled by throngs of MAGA supporters who showed up hours before the rally will begin.
