A political conference in Washington, DC, known as the Principles First Summit, was evacuated on Sunday following a death threat against several speakers critical of former President Donald Trump. The threat, received via email, mentioned high-profile figures such as former national security adviser John Bolton and former US Capitol Police officer Michael Fanone.
The email claimed that pipe bombs had been planted at the JW Marriott hotel in DC, where the conference was being held, as well as inside Bolton's mailbox in Maryland. Organizers promptly alerted security and the Metropolitan Police Department, leading to the evacuation of the conference floor.
