According to media reports, a package containing the ricin poison was sent to the White House. The letter was addressed to the President of the United States, Donald Trump (74) and was intercepted this week, the news channel CNN reported on Saturday, citing security officials.
The “New York Times” wrote that the package came from Canada, according to investigators. Authorities tried to determine whether other similar items could have been shipped.
Letters containing the highly toxic ricin had already been sent to President Barack Obama and then-New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg in 2013. All mail from the White House will now be sorted and reviewed in a different location prior to let him get to the seat of the president of the United States, CNN stressed. The substance can be fatal even in small amounts. (SDA)
