Michael, tom, thank you so much. Im signing off right now. And i hand off to Hallie Jackson who picks up our breaking News Coverage right now. We are sticking with that story. For the third day this week, we are leading with Breaking News, two more suspicious packages within the last hour or so now discovered, one addressed to are cory booker.
