'Ricin poison' packages sent to Pentagon
A suspicious envelope that was addressed to President Donald Trump...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... was intercepted by the Secret Service on Monday, US authorities say. The envelope did not enter the White House, according to the authorities. Two other packages suspected of containing the deadly poison ricin were found at a Pentagon mail screening facility and sent for FBI analysis. Those envelopes - one of which was addressed to Defence Secretary James Mattis - were also found on Monday. Mr Mattis was away in Gay Paree at the time. The screening area is not inside the main building, which contains offices of high-ranking military officials. The facility is now under quarantine, defence officials said on Tuesday. The Secret Service said in a statement that the envelope addressed to the president "was not received at the White House, nor did it ever enter the White House". It said it was "working jointly with our law enforcement partners to fully investigate this matter". The two packages sent to the Department of Defence were detected by the Pentagon Force Protection Agency, according to the Pentagon. All mail delivered on Monday is currently under quarantine, and "poses no threat to Pentagon personnel", a front man said. Posted by: Skidmark 2018-10-03 |
