New York Police Department is also responding to a confirmed suspicious device discovered in the Time Warner Center. This is the location for New York’s CNN Bureau.

According to a source from the NYPD, the device sent to the Time Warner Center is believed to be a pipe bomb.

 

The suspected bomb has now been removed from the building at the Time Warner Center and is in the hands of NYPD.

The White House has released a statement condemning the threats against Clinton and Obama.

“These terrorizing acts are despicable, and anyone responsible will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law,” White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said. “The United States Secret Service and other law enforcement agencies are investigating and will take all appropriate actions to protect anyone threatened by these cowards.”

CNN also reported that the White House was also sent a suspicious package, however, the U.S. Secret Service has disproved this claim.

As of 11:35 a.m. it was reported that U.S. Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz also received a suspicious package in Sunrise, Florida. She has evacuated her house while police investigate.
