The Secret Service revealed on Wednesday (24th October 2018) that two (2) suspicions packages were intercepted this week, addressed to the homes of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Both packages were intercepted prior to being delivered to their intended location.
A suspicious package was also addressed recently to the home of Billionaire Investor and major Democratic Donor, George Soros. All three (3) packages appear to be similar and may have originated from the same source. On Wednesday, the NYPD responded to a suspicious device that was discovered in the Time Warner Center in New York City, where CNN has a Bureau. The building has been evacuated. The device sent to Time Warner Center was constructed with a pipe and wires, according to an NYPD source. Law Enforcement Authorities are treating the device as a real explosive. The device was discovered in the building's Mailroom, the source said. Also on Wednesday, CNN had reported that a suspicious package containing a Pipe Bomb that was addressed to the White House, was intercepted at Joint Base Bolling in Washington, DC. The package allegedly contained projectiles for maximum carnage. However, the Secret Service later said that report was “incorrect.” Read the statements below by the Secret Service as well as White House Press Secretary, Sarah Sanders.

We condemn the attempted violent attacks recently made against President Obama, President Clinton, Secretary Clinton, and other public figures.
