An anti-Trump conference in Washington, D.C., was evacuated due to a bomb threat linked to a claim made by former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio. Organizers of the Principles First Summit announced the evacuation from the JW Marriott hotel after receiving a threatening email, which stated that pipe bombs had been placed in the venue. The situation prompted immediate action from hotel and law enforcement officials, who prioritized attendee safety and secured the area.
