washington as well. no doubt. as you know, governor, the package that was sent to cnn s office in new york at the time warner center, columbus circle, was delivered by courier. the package to george soros s new york home up in west chester county, that wasn t mailed either. it was put in a mailbox. somebody put it there. do you believe the perpetrator or the perpetrators right now, and i know there s a massive man hunt underway, are still in your state of new york? look, you simply don t know. we re working on that assumption, but you simply don t know. there could have been a network, and my point is, wolf, of course, a bomb is more dangerous than sending a package of negative material, but the point is you are at that point of political volatility where we now have political terrorism where our dialogue, our discussion, our debate, has
but that s not the case, necessarily. no way. what s the composition of the bomb? they might know that already. j i went home to my house today and looked at the mail to say is there anything in there that s suspicious? when i get off air, i m going to look and tweet and say now i know what to look for. this person touched a lot of stuff, a lot of devices, a lot of locations. did anybody see anything? did this person ever talk to anybody about targets? so i don t think there is anything wrong, even if they have substantial information, for asking the public who is this person, especially since we don t know if there is anything else out there. go ahead, john. got it. jonathan, go ahead. yep. eric, just dove tailing off the comments josh and phil just said, we have a shared fate in the situation. this is more about a sense of heightened vigilance in the current state. we have bombs that are being sent through the mail that are
that sounds like a fire alarm. we ll keep you posted on that. tom fuentes, if you re still hearing us here they re connected now? reporter: a minute later, poppy harlow and jim sciutto were evacuating cnn s new york headquarters, along with hundreds of employees, tourists and new yorkers were neighboring buildings. there s a fire alarm here. you might have heard it in the background. we re going to find out what the latest is. we ll be right back. reporter: authorities responded quickly and en masse. responding officers identified a device that appeared to be a live explosive device. additionally, there was an envelope containing white powder that was discovered as part of that original packaging. reporter: the package addressed to former cia director, john brennan, who has appeared on cnn air, but is not a cnn contributor, just one of many targets. multiple other bombs were intercepted by authorities today. one bomb mailed to former president barack obama s office in
conference before, we re not going to go too deep into where we are. i want all new yorkers to know the joint task force continues with this investigation, we have the device removed from cnn to our bomb squad headquarters up in the bronx, and we re working with the fbi and their bomb teches to make sure it s brought down to be examined and find out who perpetrated this crime. reporter: the mayor said today he thinks there could be more out there. is that what you re working with now? do you believe there could be? well, i m not sure if it s what i believe. but this is open ended. last night we had one, and then we have six. so we have to operate under the assumption that there are more out there, and that s why we need, quite frankly, all new yorkers to pay attention to what s going on in the city. go about your lives but pay attention to what comes in your mail. if you work in an office building, if you work in a mail room, pay attention to what s
the nypd bomb squad saw with their own eyes a live bomb and got it out of here so no one could be hurt. new york mayor, bill de blasio, thank you so much for your time. i appreciate it. thank you, jake. we have reporters on the scene where suspicious devices were supposed to be delivered to the clintons, to the obamas and one sent to former attorney general, eric holder. but it was the wrong address. so it was sent back to the name on the return address. we have some breaking news. the person on that return address, congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz who obviously did not mail the bombs, just responded after the device ended up in her sunrise, florida, office and said, quote, we will not be intimidated by this appalling attack on our democracy. and i am deeply disturbed. my staff and i will hug each other and our loved ones tightly and tomorrow get back to work serving the people i was elected to represent, unquote. let s start with rosa flores, outside the congresswoman s of
