The Secret Service said Wednesday "potential explosive devices" addressed to former President Barack Obama and ex-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton have been intercepted, and New York police evacuated the Time Warner Center to investigate another suspicious package. Those Democrats were not the only ones targeted. Media reports also said the office of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida was evacuated after a suspicious package was found. A spokeswoman for Sen. Kamala Harris of California said her office was evacuated after "suspicious packages" were found "near the building." And California Rep. Maxine Waters said her office in Washington, D.C., was also "the target" of a suspicious package. "We have now confirmed two additional packages, both addressed to Rep. Maxine Waters, that are similar in appearance to the other packages," the FBI said late Thursday. Two days earlier, an explosive device was found at the home of politically active billionaire George Soros, a pariah to the right wing. Soros' home in Bedford, New York, is a few miles from the Clintons' residence. NBC reported that the devices addressed to Obama, Clinton and Soros share a number of characteristics. The packaging in which they were sent was almost exactly the same, and they each had a return address belonging to a former Democratic party official, according to NBC. Three senior law enforcement officials with direct knowledge told NBC that the devices were made from PVC pipe and contained a timer to set off a detonator. The devices also contained powder from fireworks and X-ray analysis showed that there was likely shrapnel inside the pipe, the officials told NBC. Multiple senior bomb technicians briefed on the case told NBC that the devices had all the components necessary to set off successful explosions.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement that the Trump administration condemns the "terrorizing acts" against Obama, the Clintons and "other public figures." "We condemn the attempted violent attacks recently made against President Obama, President Clinton, Secretary Clinton, and other public figures," Sanders said. "These terrorizing acts are despicable, and anyone responsible will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. The United States Secret Service and other law enforcement agencies are investigating and will take all appropriate actions to protect anyone threatened by these cowards." President Donald Trump said he agrees "wholeheartedly" with Vice President Mike Pence's statement condemning the "attempted attacks." Trump tweet Other influential Democrats are taking precautions on the heels of the reports. Kevin Mack, senior advisor for billionaire and potential Democratic presidential candidate Tom Steyer, told CNBC "they have a security team sweeping through his offices and home as a precaution. They are doing their job to make everyone safe. We take everything seriously." New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said during a press conference Wednesday that a suspicious device was sent to his Manhattan office, but law enforcement officials from the FBI, NYPD, Secret Service and New York State Troopers did not confirm the governor's remark.
