Trump: Probe into suspicious packages under way
    2018-10-26  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday vowed to bring to justice the people responsible for this week’s bomb scare, which targeted prominent Democrats and CNN ― but he also criticized the news media.

“No nation can succeed that tolerates violence or the threat of violence as a method of political intimidation, coercion or control,” Trump said at a rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin, on Wednesday night. “Such conduct must be fiercely opposed and firmly prosecuted.”

“We want all sides to come together in peace and harmony,” he added. “We can do it, we can do it, we can do it. It’ll happen.”

Trump then partially blamed the media for the politically charged bomb scare and the country’s divide.

“As part of a larger national effort to bridge our divides and bring people together, the media also has a responsibility to set a civil tone and to stop the endless hostility and constant negative and oftentimes false attacks and stories,” Trump added. “They’ve got to stop, bring people together.”

Several suspicious packages apparently containing explosive devices were mailed to prominent Democrats late Tuesday, including Hillary and Bill Clinton, former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Joe Biden, law enforcement officials announced Wednesday.

CNN’s New York headquarters also received a suspicious package, addressed to former CIA Director John Brennan. The Time Warner Center in Manhattan, where CNN’s offices are located, was evacuated Wednesday after a package containing a pipe bomb and white powder was found in the mailroom at around 9 a.m.

Another suspicious package was discovered at the office of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) in Sunrise, Florida, on Wednesday. It was addressed to former Attorney General Eric Holder but was rerouted to Schultz’s address.

The items in the packages resembled an explosive device sent to billionaire George Soros, a prominent Democratic donor and frequent target of far-right conspiracy theories, earlier this week.

All of the packages delivered this week listed Schultz’s Florida office on the return address label, according to the FBI.

Democratic U.S. Representative Maxine Waters said in a statement Wednesday that her office in Washington D.C. was “the target of a suspicious package that has been referred to the FBI.”
