Live updates: East Potomac Park fight returns to court; Trump set to rally in Daytona Beach
Authorities arrested Allison Jeanne Albro, a 21-year-old resident of Daytona Beach, on Friday following an alleged social media threat against President Donald Trump. The arrest occurred shortly before the President was scheduled to hold a campaign rally in the city. Albro reportedly posted on Instagram expressing an intent to shoot the President with a handgun, though she later informed investigators that the post was a joke and that she did not possess a weapon. She faces charges of written threats to kill and unlawful use of a communications device.
