Here’s the latest
- In an act of terrorism, at least nine suspect packages that authorities fear could hold explosive devices have been sent to prominent Democrats and critics of President Donald Trump around the nation.
- The most recent two packages were discovered on Thursday morning and were sent to the business of actor Robert De Niro — a frequent Trump critic — and reportedly to former Vice President Joe Biden, which was intercepted at a mail facility.
- So far, packages have been sent to: George Soros; Hillary Clinton; Barack Obama; CNN, care of to former CIA Director John Brennan; Eric Holder, care of U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz; and to US Rep. Maxine Waters’s Washington DC and California offices.
- Most if not all of the packages contain a return address for Wasserman Schultz, an obvious ruse.
- Trump, who has ushered in an era of political divisiveness, did not take any responsibility at a rally Wednesday night and instead blamed the media.
- And Twitter is promoting baseless conspiracy theories about the packages.
