Summary

An anti-Trump conservative summit in Washington, DC, was evacuated Sunday due to a “credible bomb threat” allegedly sent by an account claiming to represent Enrique Tarrio, former Proud Boys leader.

The threat, which named several high-profile attendees, remains unverified by police. Tarrio, who was arrested over the weekend, denied involvement and threatened legal action.

The event, an alternative to CPAC, featured prominent anti-Trump conservatives and ex-law enforcement officers who had clashed with Tarrio earlier.

DC tensions were heightened amid the CPAC gathering and related protests.
