In the past week, Democratic public figures began to receive what appear to be “pipe-bombs” delivered to their homes. Among the targets include Hilary and Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joseph R. Biden Jr. A majority of the public blames President Trump for the arrival of these packages as most of the targets have previously conflicted with the current president. On Wednesday, the Time Warner building also received a package that led to the evacuation of the building.

As of now, none of the devices have harmed anyone. One law enforcement official said investigators were examining the possibility that they were hoax devices that were constructed to look like bombs but would not have exploded.

Trump later released a statement on Wednesday night saying, “Any acts or threats of political violence are an attack on our democracy itself. No nation can succeed that tolerates violence or the threat of violence as a method of political intimidation, corrosion or control, we all know that.”
