BREAKING: Trump Campaign Official Responds After Reports Of Explosives Being Found At Trump’s Rally In New York
On Wednesday morning, the Daily Mail reported that explosives were in a car near the site of Trump’s rally in Nassau County, New York.
A senior Trump campaign official has called the report “fake news.”
The original report by the Daily Mail used an OAN staffer’s post on X as a source and claimed cops found explosives in a vehicle and that the owner of teh vehicle fled into the woods.
The Associated Press reported, “Christopher Boyle, a spokesperson for Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, and Lt. Scott Skrynecki, a spokesperson for the Nassau County Police Department, both say reports that explosives were found in a car near the site of Donald Trump’s rally on Long Island are false.”
Commissioner of Police Patrick Ryder also commented on the report and shared: “Reports of explosives being found at the site are unfounded.

Here’s what The National Pulse reported:
A story that claimed there were explosives found in a car near the site of a Wednesday afternoon Trump campaign rally in Nassau County, New York, is “fake news,” a senior Trump campaign source told The National Pulse after speaking with the United States Secret Service.The story, first published by the UK-based Daily Mail off the back of a tweet from a One America News (OAN) staffer, claimed cops had found explosives in a vehicle and that the vehicle owner had fled into the woods.
The story, however, was quickly debunked by local authorities and police, with a senior Trump campaign source confirming to The National Pulse that there “is not” an explosive device near the venue, the historic Nassau Coliseum.
The Associated Press’s law enforcement reporter, Mikae Balsamo, tweeted: “Christopher Boyle, a spokesperson for Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, and Lt. Scott Skrynecki, a spokesperson for the Nassau County Police Department, both say reports that explosives were found in a car near the site of Donald Trump’s rally on Long Island are false.”
Commissioner of Police Patrick Ryder said: “Reports of explosives being found at the site are unfounded. 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.
Per Newsweek:
The Nassau Police Department confirmed to Newsweek Wednesday morning that its force responded to a “suspicious occurrence” near the location of former President Donald Trump’s rally site tonight in Long Island, noting that no explosives were located.
“We did respond to a suspicious occurrence in the vicinity of the Nassau Coliseum, however there was no validity of an explosive device being found,” a public information officer told Newsweek after a report about an explosive device at the rally site circulated online.
The officer added, “we’re unsure where this information originated, but we can confirm that no explosives were discovered.”
Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, is set to hold a campaign rally at 7 p.m. in Uniondale, New York at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. The rally comes just three days after a second assassination attempt on Trump in West Palm Beach, Florida. The suspect, 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, was arrested on Sunday.
