and her husband jared kushner, they live one mile south as well as jeff bezos. i did notice a couple things different here today, and that is the police presence. that is more to help corral the reporters and crews to make sure the streets remain clear and also a u.s. secret service agent as well as a bomb sniffing dog, made sure to do a security sweep of our equipment and cameras to make sure there are no bad actors among us as we cover the story, chris. thank you so much, suzanne. appreciate having you at the scene here. unsophisticated is a part of the theme here, the devices reportedly crudely made. we also see that in the sending of these. for instance, here at cnn the package was addressed to someone
we re probably at one of the most secure places in the city here, because it s very, very public that the obamas live on this street. you ve got 24/7 secret service that are set up out here on the street. there is a barricade, a concrete barricade perimeter that has been set up for at least a year. people have to produce their i.d.s. they have to tell you the address, where they re going. we have seen some fedex delivery within the last 20 minutes or so. but this is a very secure location. this is also where ivanka trump and jared kushner live, about a block south from the residence, as well as jeff bezos of amazon. so people are very used to the tight security here, and we have seen u.s. secret service actually do a security sweep of our bags, and our crews bags, just to make sure there are no bad actors among us. but again, the obama family is safe and secure, jake. suzanne malveaux in washington, d.c., outside the

to spend it? a good possibility he is going to be here at the game at nationals park at 7:05. just don t tell anybody, but they are doing another security sweep which is generally what they do before the president attends any particular event. and todd, as you mentioned just a moment ago, it was one year ago today, just a couple miles from where i m sitting that crazed gunman came out with that semiautomatic rifle and tried to kill as many republicans as he possibly could. it was a targeted assassination attempt. steve scalise was desperately injured. he is going to be with us in about an hour. actually both teams are going to have batting practice this morning. coming up one hour from right now. the democrats are going to take the field and then at 8:00 eastern time the republicans will as well. we are also going to have roger williams, member from the great state of texas. he and a staff member were here that day a year ago staph member was injured
