lot of these activities on behalf of democrats outside of new york city. chappaqua, new york, the hillary and bill clinton residence. that package was delivered off site. similarly, the suspicious package delivered to the residence here in washington, d.c., of former president obama. that was found off site. a suspicious package addressed to the white house was intercepted at joint base bolling here in washington, d.c. poppy, how far away from time warner are you guys right now? so jim and i are all of our colleagues here are standing on the corner of 9th avenue and we are half a block away from they did not want us to stay anywhere near the building. they would not let us stay across the street.
i know this morning law enforcement officials were stepping up security, concern for this kind of situation. they are treating this as a real explosive device. i m told by law enforcement officials in new york that the bomb squad there believes they have this under control. they will likely take this device, this suspicious package, and probably place it in a secure area. they have this truck that they bring in they they put it in, and they will probably detonate it. serious concern now here in new york as the police are treating this as the real deal. there are similarities in what was found at the time warner center to the other devices, the other explosives we have been talking about this morning, the other four that were intercepted by the secret service and by police in new york. so obviously that is concerning authorities. just to give our viewers some idea of what was found at the time warner center, i m told that it looks sort of like a
okay. stay with us, jim. we re going to go back to shimon prokupecz, who s live in the newsroom here in d.c. you have more information. shimon, what can you tell us now? rené, i m being told by a law enforcement official that, in fact, this suspicious package was found in the mail room, obviously probably sent through the mail, at 10 columbus circle, which houses our offices in new york. i m told that when they looked at this package, and obviously i have to tell you security all across the country this morning at offices across the country has been increased, folks looking for these suspicious packages. something in that package concerned them. i don t want to get too specific about it, but there are things in this package, items in this package that were discovered at our offices in new york that concerned security, perhaps the staff in the mail room, that they decided to call the police given the news of this morning,
so they know what they re looking for. they know what the other devices, how they were constructed, what they were compromised of. so that way, they know what they re dealing with in this situation. it is perhaps related. law enforcement officials in new york are treating it as such. they ve also taken other precautions around new york, other locations tied to george soros as well as bill and hillary clinton and the obamas around the country are going to see increased security. certainly at mail rooms, at homes. the fbi s joint terrorism task force has probably stood up a command post. they re going to go ahead and move forward and try and stop this before someone gets seriously hurt. we re getting some conflicting information, shimon. i m going to get back to jim sciutto and poppy harlow. reuters now reporting no suspicious package was addressed to the white house, even though earlier we learned we were reporting that a suspicious package was addressed to the white house, intercep
