The story of the suspicious packages sent to the homes of former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and to CNN’s New York offices continues to develop quickly on Wednesday, with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announcing in the middle of a press briefing that a device had been intercepted at his own office.
CNN is reporting that a package addressed to former Attorney General Eric Holder arrived at the offices of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz—because her address had been used as the return address on that and the other packages:
A suspicious package was sent to Eric Holder but it had the wrong address and was returned to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s office in Florida because that was the return label on the package, according to two law enforcement sources.
The same return address was used for the Clinton and Obama suspicious packages.
The explosive found Monday in George Soros’s mailbox, however, was put there rather than mailed. Meanwhile, and remember that early reports are often inaccurate:
According to New York and law enforcement officials, the explosive device mailed to former CIA director and frequent Trump critic John Brennan at CNN’s New York offices—a picture of which shows the corner of a return address with the name “Schultz” visible—was a pipe bomb that “appeared to be live” and was packaged with white powder. New York officials did not deny the apparent political targeting involved in devices being sent to prominent Democrats like the Obamas, Clintons, Holder, and Soros, as well as frequent Donald Trump media target CNN.
Donald Trump has not cancelled a planned Wednesday night campaign rally.
