An explosive device was discovered early Wednesday at Hillary and Bill Clinton’s Chappaqua home, another one addressed to former President Obama was intercepted in Washington, DC, and CNN evacuated its Manhattan headquarters when a suspicious package was found there, officials said.
Police in Florida are also investigating a possible suspicious package at the offices of Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, according to a local NBC affiliate.
A US official said investigators believe the “functional explosive device” found at the Clintons’ home in Westchester County is linked to one found Monday in the mailbox of billionaire George Soros’ house in Katonah. The return address on the bomb sent to Soros was “Debbie Wasserman Schultz,” a law enforcement source told The Post.
Meanwhile, CNN reported that its Manhattan bureau at the Time Warner Center at 10 Columbus Circle has been evacuated because of a suspicious package. The package was addressed to former CIA director John Brennan, sources said.
And in a fourth incident, a suspicious package was found at the Soros Foundation on West 57th Street, a law enforcement source told The Post.
The NYPD is working under the theory that the suspicious package found at CNN is related to the others, a high-ranking source told The Post.
The device, which was found in the mailroom of the Time Warner center, was constructed with a pipe and wires, cops said.
A high ranking-police source told The Post that cops were still preparing to examine the package. It wasn’t immediately clear to whom it was addressed or if there was a note attached.
