Authorities allegedly discovered “explosives” in a vehicle near the rally site of former US President Donald Trump on Long Island, ahead of his speech on Wednesday.
Trump is scheduled to hold a campaign rally at 7 p.m. in Uniondale, New York, at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
If verified, this incident would represent another alarming security breach, occurring just three days after an attempted assassination led to the arrest of a suspect at his Palm Beach golf club, Florida, as per Daily Mail report.
On Sunday, Secret Service agents fired at the would-be assassin, Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, upon spotting the barrel of his gun protruding from the fence at Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, and local police subsequently took him into custody.
Police said that Routh set up camp with food and a rifle just outside the 27-hole Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, where the former president was playing on Sunday.
The Republican presidential candidate narrowly escaped an assassination attempt on July 13 during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, opened fire on the former president with an AR-style rifle while he was speaking to the crowd. The attack resulted in one audience member’s death and two others injured.
Crooks was shot and killed at the scene by a Secret Service sniper.
