Anti-Trump Conference in DC Disrupted by Bomb Threat

The Principles First Summit, a gathering of anti-Trump conservatives, was evacuated after a bomb threat allegedly linked to a Proud Boys-affiliated account.

  • The Principles First Summit, a center-right event opposing Trump's influence, was evacuated Sunday after receiving a bomb threat from an account claiming to represent Enrique Tarrio, the former Proud Boys leader.
  • The emailed threat, referencing 'J6 hostages,' named prominent speakers like Michael Fanone, Adam Kinzinger, and Mark Cuban as targets and claimed multiple pipe bombs had been planted at the venue.
  • Law enforcement and security teams determined the threat was not credible after a thorough sweep, allowing the event to resume later in the day.
  • Enrique Tarrio, who was recently pardoned by Trump for his role in the January 6 attack, denied involvement in the threat but had confronted police officers attending the event a day earlier.
  • Organizers and attendees condemned the intimidation attempt, reaffirming their commitment to democratic principles and continuing the summit despite the disruption.
