Police reportedly found explosives in a car near former President Donald Trump's rally site at Nassau Coliseum on Long Island ahead of his speech on Wednesday evening. The incident comes just days after a second assassination attempt on Trump. The Nassau County Police Department responded to a 'suspicious occurrence' near the rally site, but later confirmed that no explosive device was found. Multiple sources, including Daily Mail and One America News, initially reported the discovery of explosives, but these reports were subsequently denied by Nassau County officials. The driver of the car allegedly fled the scene, and the perimeter of the rally site was reportedly breached during a K9 sweep, during which a blue barrel was removed.
